Braz J Phys Ther. 2026;30: 101608
Highlights

  • Patient and Public Involvement in Research (PPI) is an evolving concept around the world and is a key driver of equity and social justice

  • PPI in Research ensures that research reflects the needs and values of those it serves.

  • Proper training on how to use PPI in research should be made mandatory for researchers, patients, and the public.

  • Low- and middle-income countries, like Brazil, must encourage the implementation of PPI in health-related research studies.

Fremantle Back Awareness Questionnaire (FreBAQ) - Brazilian version: cross-cultural adaptation, reliability and validity in individuals with chronic low back pain
Ana Carolina de Jacomo Claudio, Thamiris Costa de Lima, Roger Berg, Alessandra Emiko Yamazaki, Cristina Maria Nunes Cabral, Benedict Martin Wand, Thais Cristina Chaves
Braz J Phys Ther. 2026;30: 101618
Highlights

  • The Fremantle Back Awareness Questionnaire - Brazilian version (FreBAQ-Br) questionnaire demonstrated acceptable reliability, internal consistency, and construct validity for hypothesis testing.

  • The FreBAQ-Br score differentiated between individuals with chronic low back pain and those without it.

  • Structural validity confirmed the unidimensional structure of the 9-item FreBAQ-Br.

  • The findings endorse the application of FreBAQ-Br as a suitable instrument for assessing back awareness among Brazilian Portuguese speakers.

  • The smallest detectable change (SDC) for the FreBAQ-Br score is 3.33, suggesting that variations smaller than this cutoff is probably due to measurement error.
