Popis: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are increasingly being used in the field of physiotherapy. In India, they are primarily used to determine clinical improvement in patients following intervention or for clinical audit purposes. However, clinical, academic, and research professionals' understanding of the construct, development, and psychometric validation of PROMs are uncertain, on the darker side, and unclear. As a result, this state could potentially lead to significant constraints in practice in terms of proper PROM selection, application, and administration. Furthermore, the lack of availability of PROMs in the patients' native language may necessitate a cross-cultural approach.
