The journal is published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, a part of Wolters Kluwer Health.
Part of an international validation project, the study adds the unique perspective of physical therapists to a new classification system for assessing functional status and disability in patients with osteoporosis. The lead author of the study is Barbara Koehler, P.T., M.P.T.Sc., of Zurich University of Applied Sciences, Winterthur, Switzerland.
