"POTAPENCO ROMAN QUESTIONNAIRE" (P.R.Q.)

”Potapenco Roman Questionnaire” - PRQ® is a practical specialized questionnaire for patients suffering from back pain, used by Physiotherapists and Manual Therapists.
         Myofascial pain is one of the most common complaints that patients accuse of seeing a doctor. Specific questionnaires that could estimate the condition of patients are very few and poorly reflect the condition of patients. Specific questionnaires intended specifically for Manual Therapists and Physiotherapists who are concerned with the physical recovery of patients with back pain are extremely few. The P.R.Q® questionnaire may reflect the dynamics of the health condition of patients suffering from acute or chronic myofascial back pain, after following a medical physical recovery program through Kinesiotherapy or Manual Therapy. Patients who at the beginning of treatment could not perform the Fingertoe-to-floor test were chosen. In order to analyze the dynamics and effectiveness of physiotherapy and manual therapy procedures, as well as the importance of the questionnaire in determining this dynamic.
          The P.R.Q. questionnaire proved to be feasible in quantifying the dynamics of the physical health of patients suffering from acute or chronic myofascial back pain, after following a medical physical recovery program through Manual Therapy and Physiotherapy.

This questionnaire is developed and translated into 3 languages: Romanian, Russian and English.
