The objectives of this WG are:
- To summarise the theoretical background of quantifying post-injury levels of functioning and disability;
- To formulate recommendations for future theoretical and empirical work ('How should the European injury research community proceed with this subject?')
- To develop practical guidelines for empirical follow-up studies into post-injury levels of functioning for selected types of injury. These guidelines will contain advice on measurement instruments and moments, methods of data acquisition, additional background variables to be collected and their (internationally) accepted methods, the numbers of patients to be included, and types of analyses to be performed and possible methods to use
- To implement a ‘European disability follow-up study’ testing the guidelines for selected types of injury: open wounds, poisoning, ankle/foot sprain, wrist fracture, hip fracture, brain injury, spinal cord injury, and multitrauma.
