Development and empirical testing of a questionnaire-based algorithm to evaluate physical and psychosocial health status in performing artists / Entwicklung und empirische Testung eines fragebogenbasierten Algorithmus zur Erhebung des körperlichen und psychosozialen Gesundheitszustands darstellender Künstlerinnen und Künstler

Abstract

Health care providers like physiotherapists should address the needs of performing artists for a specific health care derived from physical and psychosocial (performance-related) complaints. The aims of this study were (1) to compose an algorithm including subjective outcome measures in order to suggest how to evaluate the physical and psychosocial health status of performing artists in its complexity in a manner as targeted and detailed as possible, and (2) to test the feasibility of applying this algorithm.
