Development of the Body-Relatedness Observation Scale: A feasibility study.

Conclusion: This initial analysis of a structured physical therapeutic observation for people with somatic symptom disorder indicated modestly sound psychometric quality of observations of execution of instructions, muscle tension, and behavioral adaptation, but not of patients' ability to perceive the body adequately. This shows that body-related observations are feasible and indicates the viability of further development of the BROS.
