ICF= International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, I=Impairments, A=Activity limitations, P=Participation restrictions.

The extent to which I, A and P is assessed within each tool is indicated using the following symbol system: - no items assessing domain, −/+ a small number of items assessing domain, + some items assessing domain, ++ the majority of items assessing domain.

*Scores are self-completed by the patient in a postal questionnaire, excepting MYMOP2 which is completed during a research appointment.

The MYMOP2 asks patients to generate two symptoms (impairments or activity limitations) and one activity (which could be activity limitation or participation restrictions) that is restricted by their symptoms.

#Scores and tests are assessed by a research nurse during a research appointment. The patients are also invited to rate their performance on the functional tests.
