There is growing awareness of the need to measure quality of life (QOL) in people with Parkinson's disease during routine physiotherapy assessment. This paper highlights why it is important for clinicians to focus particularly on health-related QOL (HRQOL) when assessing people with this disabling and progressive neurological condition, and provides a guide for selection of the most appropriate instruments for measuring HRQOL. Using measures of health utility, health status and wellbeing, physiotherapists can better understand the social, physical and emotional consequences of Parkinson's disease.
人们越来越意识到，在常规物理治疗评估中需要测量帕金森病患者的生活质量（QOL）。本文强调了为什么对于评估患有这种使人丧失能力和进行性神经疾病的患者，临床医生特别关注与健康相关的生活质量（HRQOL）非常重要，并提供了用于测量 HRQOL 的最合适工具的选择指南。使用健康效用、健康状况和幸福感的衡量标准，物理治疗师可以更好地了解帕金森病的社会、身体和情感后果。
