Brief Summary

Musculoskeletal conditions are a major cause of disability worldwide. These conditions are often associated with chronicity, which is a challenge for healthcare systems to address. Health care must be person-centred and take into account the individual perspective from which the disease is experienced. The lived experience of health conditions depends to a large extent on contextual factors. Comparison between different contexts helps to identify which aspects are most relevant in the experience of the disease. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) provides a unified language that allows such comparisons to be made. The aim of this study is to identify differences in musculoskeletal health between the Polish and Spanish populations using the ICF as a frame of reference.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Brief International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) core set for post-acute musculoskeletal conditions

  The core set of codes cover categories, including Body Functions, Activities and Participation and Environment Factors. All codes from each category are quantitatively assessed with qualifiers using the same scale denoting the severity of the problem or the magnitude of the impairment on a scale of 0 to 4 (xxx.0 NO problem; xxx.1 MILD problem; xxx.2 MODERATE problem; xxx.3 SEVERE problem; xxx.4 COMPLETE problem; xxx.8 not specified and xxx.9 not applicable).
