Common perspective on (chronic) low back pain is that mental and social aspect play a dominant role. This leads to underexposure of physical aspects. From a true biopsychosocial perspective all aspects should be included, even when the contribution is considered relatively smal. Leaving out such an aspect completely should be considered erraneous.
I wonder how this research group consideres this issue.
Thank you very much for your appreciation. We has not yet started the study. We're having problems. The physiotherapist and patients cannot spend much time filling out many questionnaires.
What questionnaire do you recommend to cover the biopsychosocial perspective that you comment on your question?
Dear Tomás and Rafet,
This is interesting.
The title of this project is:
'Measurement in low back pain and neck pain',
When I think of measurement I think of recording equipment. Apparently what is mainly concerned in this study is questionnaires!
And I was not asking about psychosocial aspects, My question is about the physical component. How do you measure the physical component of low back pain? Or is it considered of no use?
I believe I think. It‘s a confusión he name of muy study is Effectiveness of a Psychoeducative Intervention on Patients With Cronic Low Back Pain (TNE)
I obviously consider this item ad absolutely important.
We employ SF36 questionnair and neuropsycological evaluations before including in treatment programs.
Dear collegues,
Again, this is not what I am asking. You cannot measure physical function with a questionnaire. So it might be that the goal of this project is to just assess psychological aspects of function and you might use questionnaires for that. For example you can measure the experienced limitations. But not the actual limitations.
If you want to incorporate actual function you'll have to have other tests, for strength, flexibility, endurance, coordination etcetera.
