Description
Limmen and colleagues published a 2026 study building a standard outcome set for children's physical therapy. Therapists lacked one shared list of what to ask children about their progress. The team drew on talks with teens, parents, and therapists, plus a literature sweep. An expert panel then ranked which outcomes matter most for daily care.
Nine outcomes made the final set across three broad domains. Functioning covers body use, taking part, and social life at school and home. Symptoms cover pain and tiredness, and an overarching group covers life quality. Matching questionnaires were found for all outcomes except taking part in activities. The authors now urge building a workable measure for that gap. Therapists ranked the candidate outcomes through a survey round as well.
