Pain explanations and age – strategies from physiotherapists.

About

This case-based vignette study was conducted with 4 focus groups of physiotherapists, many of whom work almost exclusively with kids. This study aimed to understand the approaches and communication strategies used by physiotherapists to address the pain experience of children with chronic lower limb pain. A secondary aim was to investigate if and how these approaches and communication strategies used changed based on the age of the child. Physiotherapists were shown 3 separate vignettes of children with chronic lower limb pain (age 7, 12 and 16) and asked to discuss, based on the age of the child, how they would explain and manage the child's pain.
