The analysis of instructional sequences (i.e., questions) examines the achievement of social actions during exercise therapy. This study investigated physiotherapists’ questions for patients’ initiations of exercises and analyzed patients’ verbal and embodied responses, focusing on actions performed by physiotherapists’ question designs and patients’ responses. Study findings add to the evidence of underrepresented Chinese population. Methods: Data were collected from two Hong Kong rehabilitation centers. Forty-seven consultations (6 physiotherapists; 16 patients) were video-recorded and analyzed using Conversation Analysis. Interactional features including verbal (e.g., vocabulary, grammar, turn-taking) and nonverbal aspects (e.g., gaze and gesture) were examined. Results: Ninety-eight questions were posed by physiotherapist during the initial phase of exercise. Five categories were identified: invitations, memory check, information seeking, understanding check, or adherence check. Physiotherapists’ questions led to a variety of embodied and verbal outcomes. Implications: The multimodal analysis of exercise instruction demonstrates that initiations of exercises are situated in task-relevant actions. Physiotherapists set the agenda regarding the exercise choice. Overall, physiotherapists and patients orient to verbal and nonverbal resources without precedence from either. The importance of non-verbal communication during exercises is highlighted. 000005661 540__ $$acorrect 000005661 592__ $$aHESAV 000005661 592__ $$bUnité de recherche en santé, HESAV 000005661 592__ $$cSanté 000005661 6531_ $$9eng$$ainstruction 000005661 6531_ $$9eng$$aexercise therapy 000005661 6531_ $$9eng$$aconversation analysis 000005661 6531_ $$9eng$$achinese 000005661 700__ $$aSchoeb, Veronika$$uDepartment of Rehabilitation SciencesThe Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong, China ; HESAV School of Health Sciences, HES-SO University of Applied Sciences and Arts Western Switzerland 000005661 700__ $$aYip, Adrian$$uDepartment of Linguistics, Queen Mary University of London, London, UK 000005661 7201_ $$aWatson, Bernadette$$uHong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong, Hong Kong 000005661 7201_ $$aKrieger, Janice$$uUniversity of Florida, Gainesville, USA 000005661 773__ $$tExpanding horizons in health communication : An asian perspective 000005661 8564_ $$s6628817$$uhttps://arodes.hes-so.ch/record/5661/files/published%20version.pdf$$9476965de-b694-4a9f-a6bf-1e182dd63250 000005661 906__ $$aNONE 000005661 909CO $$ooai:hesso.tind.io:5661$$pGLOBAL_SET 000005661 950__ $$aSan1 000005661 980__ $$achapitre 000005661 981__ $$achapitre
