Table 1 Operational definitions for the population (musculoskeletal injury), concept (resilience) and context (movement-evoked pain or function) examined in the scoping review
PCC | Definition | |
|---|---|---|
Population | Adults with a musculoskeletal condition | A human adult, ≥ 18 years who has been diagnosed with or sustained a primary, mechanical or trauma-related injury/complaint of the musculoskeletal system. Injury of the musculoskeletal system is defined as any acute, persistent or chronic condition afflicting bones, muscles, ligaments, joints or connective tissue [4]. |
Concept | Resilience | A person’s ability to resist, withstand or recover, or adapt to stressors [12]. |
Context | Physical function OR Movement-Evoked Pain (MEP) | Physical function is defined as the ability of a person to perform tasks and activities of daily living that foster independence [32]. MEP refers to the experience of pain during activity, rather than pain experienced during rest [6, 7]. |
