What this paper is

This is a theoretical commentary arguing that human behaviour should be recorded in (dis)comfort research. It reviews examples from other studies to show how posture, movement, and context influence comfort, but it reports no original methods, participants, or outcomes of its own. There is nothing here to change your clinical practice on.
