English term or phrase: physical withdrawal
¡Hola!

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.

el paciente se retira/aleja
Explanation:
Si el paciente experimenta una gran sensibilidad al momento de la palpación, es obvio que su impulso lo obligará a alejarse/retirarse evitando la palpación continuada y por consiguiente, más dolor.
