"Minimal clinically important change of the Neck Disability Index and the Numerical Rating Scale for patients with neck pain. " Eligible patients were informed for the purpose of the study and the confidentiality and anonymity of the process. The mean age of the 3732 patients was 53. Walter SD, Eliasziw M, Donner A: Sample size and optimal designs for reliability studies.
Patients often do not score the. I can drive my car without any neck pain. Eur Spine J 16(12): 2111-2117. In other words, it is. Items as zero, once they are in treatment. Vernon, H. "The Neck Disability Index: state-of-the-art, 1991-2008. " 2006, 31: 1621-1627. McDonoughCM, GroveMR, TostesonTD, LurieJD, HilibrandAS, TostesonAN: Comparison of EQ-5D, HUI, and SF-36-derived societal health state values among Spine Patient Outcomes Research Trial (SPORT) participants. Please note: This means 15-24 out of 50 (the RAW SCORE) equates with moderate disability. I can do most of my usual work, but no more.
This regression model may not be sufficient to accurately or reliably estimate actual EQ-5D values. Responsiveness was also assessed by the Minimal Detectable Change. Correlation coefficients for paired observations from multiple time points between the NDI, neck pain and arm pain scores, and EQ-5D were determined. Our ultimate goal was to develop an instrument in Greek that would facilitate international research in musculoskeletal disorders as well as to serve health practitioners in their everyday clinical practice. CarreonLY, AndersonPA, McDonoughCM, DjurasovicM, GlassmanSD: Predicting SF-6D utility scores from the neck disability index and numeric rating scales for neck and arm pain. Clin Pharmacol Ther. I can only lift very light weights. BMC Medical Research MethodologyMeasurement properties of translated versions of neck-specific questionnaires: a systematic review. Antonopoulou M, Ekdahl C, Sgantzos M, Antonakis N, Lionis C: Translation and standardisation into Greek of the standardised general Nordic questionnaire for the musculoskeletal symptoms. Nevertheless, sensitivity to change of the questionnaire must also be explored in greater intervals since long-term outcomes are essential in estimating the effectiveness of interventions. Howell, E. R. "The association between neck pain, the Neck Disability Index and cervical ranges of motion: a narrative review. " Control Clin Trials. Setting, sampling and target population. I cannot lift or carry anything.
The original version of the questionnaire was used. In order to explore the psychometric properties of the Greek version of the NDI, the questionnaire was administered to patients with neck pain, seeking primary care from 3 rural health centers. Feedback with the GPs was determinative to avoid such biased answers. This process refers to an in-depth interview of patients about their understanding of the questionnaire with the purpose of revealing inappropriate items and translation alternatives. The translation procedure resulted in some modifications, with the purpose of increasing specificity of the Gr-NDI in detecting disabled patients due to neck pain. Correlations between the EQ-5D and the NDI, neck pain score, and arm pain score were statistically significant (p < 0. Swedish authors also described similar modifications [9]. Young IA, Cleland JA, Michener LA, Brown C. Reliability, Construct Validity, and Responsiveness of the Neck Disability Index, Patient-Specific Functional Scale, and Numeric Pain Rating Scale in Patients with Cervical Radiculopathy, American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, 2010;;89(10):831-839. It was the first of its kind. The pain is the worst imaginable at the moment. Please note: This means 15-24 out of 50 (the RAW SCORE). Recent studies have shown that there is a strong relationship between the SF-6D and the NDI such that using a simple linear regression allows for the estimation of an SF-6D value from the NDI alone. 85) falls into the range of results from other studies (0. CDL conceived the study design, participated in the translation, pretesting and validation phases and revised the initial and the final draft of the manuscript.
Produce a percentage score. Hogg-Johnson, S. "Differences in reported psychometric properties of the Neck Disability Index: patient population or choice of methods? " Regarding the analysis of responsiveness the Spearman correlation coefficient, as calculated for stable and improved patients, was 0. The Neck Disability Index as an example. " Every 2 weeks thereafter within the treatment program to measure. Loadings of all items are presented in Table 3.
The items are scored in descending order with the top statement = 0 and the bottom statement = 5. The Clinical Journal of PainMultidisciplinary Rehabilitation Treatment of Patients With Chronic Low Back Pain: A Prognostic Model for Its Outcome. Our findings are also consistent with the English, French, Swedish and Brazilian studies, although the methods used are varying. They all had strong correlation coefficients suggesting their content is highly comparable: The NDI has a good construct validity. The pain is very severe at the moment. It is painful to look after myself and I am slow and careful. 2006, 11: 1729-1736. Y., Glassman, S. D., et al. Although intra class correlations can change between 0, 50 and 0, 98. "Disability in subacute whiplash patients: usefulness of the neck disability index. " The translation strategy was selected based on minimal criteria developed by the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Medical Outcomes Trust [15]. The questionnaire is considered a useful tool for research and clinical settings in Greek Primary Health Care. Figure 1 demonstrates the flow of the translation process. I need help every day in most aspects of self care.
White P, Lewith G, Prescott P, Conway J: Acupuncture versus Placebo for the treatment of chronic mechanical neck pain. It was analyzed by correlating the change score of the questionnaire to the GROC using the Spearman correlation coefficient. Health and Quality of Life OutcomesGerman translation, cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the whiplash disability questionnaire. Spine J 9(10): 802-808. Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Index with the permission of.
Pre-publication history. 1177/0272989X10380924)| false. Valid questionnaires for measuring functional limitations in patients with Whiplash Associated Disorders (WAD) are lacking, since existing measures are not suitable for addressing the specific limitations of these patients and because of cross contamination between theoretical constructs. I can lift heavy weights but it gives extra pain. Section 10: Recreation.
I have severe headaches, which come frequently. Points summed to a total score. Manual therapyValidation of a new questionnaire to assess the impact of Whiplash Associated Disorders: The Whiplash Activity and participation List (WAL). Section 2: Personal Care (Washing, Dressing, etc. KNK participated in study design, forward translation and pretesting phases and has been involved in the revision of the final draft.
I can't do any recreation activities at all. An older woman with low educational level stated that it was a bit difficult to complete and asked for explanations. 90) since they used similar methods to ours. Pain prevents me lifting heavy weights off the floor, but I can manage if they are conveniently placed, for example on a table. I can hardly drive at all because of severe pain in my neck.
