What is it about?
Illness perceptions consist of different constructs. It is therefore difficult to develop a questionnaire that includes all these constructs. We have found that the Low Back Perception Scale is not suitable for measuring illness perceptions in low back pain patients.

Why is it important?
It is important for clinicians that illness perceptions are a complex construct and not easy to interpret.
Perspectives
