physical withdrawal
Estoy traduciendo una evaluación de desórdenes temporomandibulares, y en una sección aparece lo siguiente:
(hablando sobre el método de palpación) "If the examiner is unable to palpate at the specified amount of pressure due to the patient's physical withdrawal or the patient's request for the palpation to be more gentle..."
El target reader del documento son futuros examinadores (odontólogos especializados).
No sé a qué hace referencia esa frase en particular, pienso que el paciente se retira o algo similar pero no estoy segura.
Agradecería mucho que alguien me pueda ayudar.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
