Development and validation of a  questionnaire to assess physiotherapists' postural-structural-biomechanical-oriented beliefs about pain

CONCLUSION: The newly developed EKPQ questionnaire seems to be a reliable and valid assessment to determine physiotherapists' PSB-oriented beliefs about pain. The results also confirm that a high level of knowledge about the neurophysiology of pain does not exclude a PSB orientation. Whether the EKPQ can be used alongside the rNPQ as an additional assessment to evaluate beliefs about pain should be investigated in the future with suitable study designs, e.g. Delphi study.PMID:37845560 | DOI:10.1007/s00482-023-00757-y
