Sind auf dem Bewegungsausmaß basierende Leitfäden eine valide Beurteilungsmethode für echte Beeinträchtigung bei LWS-Erkrankungen?

Zusammenfassung

In den USA leiden 80 - 85 % der Bevölkerung irgendwann in ihrem Leben unter Kreuzschmerzen. Hierbei stellt sich die Frage, auf welche Art und Weise die entsprechenden Beurteilungen der Beeinträchtigungen erhoben werden. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die Validität der dafür von der American Medical Association entwickelten Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment.

Abstract

80 - 85 per cent of the American population will experience low back pain once in their lifetime. The question arises in which way the corresponding assessment data of these impairments are collected. The article investigates the validity of the for this purpose developed Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment of the American Medical Association.

Schlüsselwörter
