Bronchiolitis in infants and children<br />
Overall, 186 physio<strong>the</strong>rapists out of <strong>the</strong> 367 respondents have indicated <strong>the</strong> functional tests used to determine<br />
<strong>the</strong> evolution of infants/children suffering from bronchiolitis. The distribution of functional tests is presented in<br />
Figure 4.13. One functional test not included in <strong>the</strong> pre-established list of <strong>the</strong> questionnaire was considered as<br />
it was mentioned by at least 10 physio<strong>the</strong>rapists (see Appendix 4.C). It concerns chest palpation. The most<br />
frequent clinical tests used by Belgian ambulatory physio<strong>the</strong>rapists to assess infants/children with bronchiolitis<br />
were, from <strong>the</strong> most prevalent to <strong>the</strong> least: anamnesis (82 ± 06%) and pulmonary auscultation (62 ± 07%).<br />
Observation was also a clinical test moderately used in ambulatory practice (28 ± 06%). To our knowledge, no<br />
standardised functional assessment tools whose metric properties and quality appraisal have been pretty<br />
documented exist in <strong>the</strong> scientific literature.<br />
