Keywords:Embodied knowledge, System theory, Nonlinear analysis

We discuss how we can approach to embodied knowledge and skills in practical and clinical field of rehabilitation. There is a dilemma in studying them: Within traditional scientific framework, if researchers want to investigate a particular object or phenomenon in real and natural world by means of hypothesis testing experimental way, they should remove other factors apparently unrelating to their hypothesis in order to avoid affecting the result. However, most real and natural phenomena cannot be separated from various factors surrounding them (e.g., environment, situation). In other words, they are embedded in their environment or situation. This dilemma represents some difficulties of approaching to embodied knowledge and skills in practical and clinical field. We pick up related issues and show our approach to study them.
