abstract: 'Aim. The aim of this work was to evaluate the Norwegian form of the

  international Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF)

  Core Set for low back pain patients and investigate the feasibility of

  the Core Set in clinical practice.

  Methods. This was part of an international multicenter study, with 118

  participating Norwegian patients referred to Departments of Physical

  Medicine and rehabilitation with low back pain (LBP). The ICF Core Set

  for LBP was filled in by the health professionals. The patients reported

  their problems using the Medical Outcome Study Short Form 36 (SF-36) and

  the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questiomiaire (ODI).

  Results. The ICF Core Set categories capture the problems of the LBP

  patients, and few categories were reported to be missing. Many problems

  were reported within body function, and problems within work and

  employment were captured by the activity and participation component.

  The environmental factors in ICF were most frequently scored as

  facilitators, but the same factor could also represent a barrier in

  other individuals. Health professionals, family and friends were

  important factors within this domain. Few problems were scored as severe

  or complete indicating the need of collapsing the qualifier levels.

  Scoring of the ICF Core Set was feasibly, but rather time-consuming.

  Conclusion. The ICF Core Set for LBP captures the problems of LBP, and

  adds important aspects to clinical practice in the field of LBP.

  However, the ICF Core Set for LBP needs further elaboration in order to

  improve the clinical feasibility.'
