“…Similarly, when health professionals apply the LBP Core Sets to classify patient problems they typically rate employment categories as mildly-severely restricted (35,36). Likewise, in qualitative studies physiotherapists and doctors have reported work as an important goal for their treatment (37,38). This difference may reflect the characteristics of our sample, as the majority were retired (42.4%).…”

“…Additional categories are included which cover functional problems other health professions take care of, and even aspects of functioning which are relevant for the patients without being focus of any intervention. Consequently, in order to capture the entire scope of content validity, additional studies should examine the perspective of other health professions 25 and the patient perspective.…”

Objectives: The ‘Comprehensive ICF Core Set for low back pain (LBP)’ is an application of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and represents the typical spectrum of problems in functioning of patients with LBP. The objective of this study was to validate this ICF Core Set from the perspective of physicians. Methods: Physicians experienced in the treatment of LBP were asked about the patients’ problems, patients’ resources and aspects of environment that physicians take care of in a three-round survey using the Delphi technique. Responses were linked to the ICF. Results: Seventy-one physicians in 36 countries named 707 concepts that covered all ICF components. One hundred ninety-three ICF categories were linked to these answers. Three ICF categories were not represented in the Comprehensive ICF Core Set for LBP although at least 75% of the participants have rated them as important. Twenty-six concepts were linked to the not yet developed ICF component personal factors and 21 issues were not covered by the ICF. Discussion: The high percentage of ICF categories represented in the ICF Core Set for LBP indicates good content validity from the perspective of the physicians. However, some issues were raised that were not covered and need to be investigated further.

Purpose To determine the content of current Dutch expert hospital physiotherapy practice for patients undergoing lumbar spinal fusion (LSF), to gain insight into expert-based clinical practice. Methods At each hospital where LSF is performed, one expert physiotherapist received an e-mailed questionnaire, about pre-and postoperative physiotherapy and discharge after LSF. The level of uniformity in goals and interventions was graded on a scale from no uniformity (50-60 %) to very strong uniformity (91-100 %).Results LSF was performed at 34 of the 67 contacted hospitals. From those 34 hospitals, 28 (82 %) expert physiotherapists completed the survey. Twenty-one percent of the respondents saw patients preoperatively, generally to provide information. Stated postoperative goals and administered interventions focused mainly on performing transfers safely and keeping the patient informed. Outcome measures were scarcely used. There was no uniformity regarding advice on the activities of daily living. Conclusion Dutch perioperative expert physiotherapy for patients undergoing LSF is variable and lacks structural outcome assessment. Studies evaluating the effectiveness of best-practice physiotherapy are warranted.
