I got this question during an internship interview.

This intriguing question comes from Delivery Models in Telemedicine in division Telemedicine Technology of Biomedical Instrumentation

Answer 1

Correct option is (b) Modality-Specific

To explain: Interruption or interference with normal physiological and developmental processes or structures is called  Pathophysiology. A task that is specific to a single sense or movement pattern is called Modality- Specific. A functional limitation is a restriction or lack of ability to perform an action in the manner or within the range consistent with the purpose of an organ or organ system.
