Locomotor requirements for bipedal locomotion: a Delphi survey.

Background: Bipedal locomotor control requirements may be useful as classifications for walking dysfunction because they go beyond gait analysis to address all issues contributing to walking dysfunction.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine whether locomotor experts could achieve consensus about the requirements for bipedal locomotion.

Design And Methods: Locomotor experts from physical therapy and other related professions participated in an electronic mail Delphi survey.

Improving the validity and reliability of a health promotion survey for physical therapists.

Purpose: Physical therapists (PTs) have a unique opportunity to intervene in the area of health promotion. However, no instrument has been validated to measure PTs' views on health promotion in physical therapy practice. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the content validity and test-retest reliability of a health promotion survey designed for PTs.
