Description
Summary:This symposium has evaluated the possible directions to be taken in designing reliable and valid questionnaires, screening examinations, and paraclinical tests applicable to studies in LBP. The detailed design of such test instruments, field testing, measures of reliability, and validity represent the next step if the current barriers to collaborative clinical research in LBP are to be overcome.
