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.
