To review the measurement properties of the low back and neck versions of the Bournemouth Questionnaire.Background to the study
Purpose of the study
The use of Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) to measure effectiveness of care, and supporting patient management is being advocated increasingly. PROMs data are often collected using hard copy questionnaires. New technology enables electronic PROM data collection. To identify patient and practitioner perceived opportunities and challenges to implementing electronic PROM data capture as part of the process for developing a PROM phone and online app.Background to the study:
Purpose of the study:
