title: Standardized documentation in physical therapy: testing of validity and reliability of the PT-ITC and mapping it to the Metathesaurus.
abstract: Purpose of this study, conducted in Iceland 2006, was to assess utility of a new physical therapy intervention term collection (PT-ITC) and map to the UMLS Metathesaurus using MetaMap. A questionnaire was used to test validity and reliability. Translation, from Icelandic to English, was necessary for the mapping. The PT-ITC in Icelandic and English is valid and reliable. It can be mapped to several sources in the Metathesaurus.
