Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative StudyComparison of clinical vignettes and standardized patients as measures of physiotherapists' activity and work recommendations in patients with non-specific low back pain.
To validate clinical vignettes as a measure of physiotherapists' activity and work recommendations given to patients with non-specific low back pain. ⋯ The poor concordance between clinical vignettes and standardized patients indicates the potentially limited validity of clinical vignettes as a measure of health providers' activity and work recommendations in low back pain practice.

Multicenter StudyA multicentre study of intentional behavioural responses measured using the Coma Recovery Scale-Revised in patients with minimally conscious state.
To investigate which conscious behaviour is most frequently detected using the Coma Recovery Scale-Revised in patients with minimally conscious state. ⋯ Non-reflexive visual behaviour, identified by the visual subscale of Coma Recovery Scale-Revised, is the most frequently detected intentional sign consistent with the diagnosis of minimally conscious state, independently from aetiology and time post-onset.
