The translation, validity and reliability of the German version of the Fremantle Back Awareness Questionnaire.

Background

The Fremantle Back Awareness Questionnaire (FreBAQ) claims to assess disrupted self-perception of the back.

Thirty-five patients with non-specific CLBP and 48 healthy participants were recruited. Assessor one administered the FreBAQ-G to each patient with CLBP on two separate days to quantify intra-observer reliability. Assessor two administered the FreBaQ-G to each patient on day 1. The scores were compared to those obtain
