Q

True or false

Intra-rater reliability is the consistency of the results of the measure when TWO different people are evaluating the results of the same subject.

A

False

That is INTER-rater reliability

INTRA-rater reliability is done with only one person evaluating the results of the same subject

28
Q

What are some outcome measures for the cervical spine?

A

Neck, disability index (NDI)
Neck pain and disability scale (NPAD)
Tragus to wall test (TWT)

29
Q

What is the most commonly used outcome measure for the cervical spine in research ?

A

Neck disability index (NDI)

30
Q

True or false

Neck disability index (NDI) has a high level of reliability and validity and has become a standard instrument for measuring self-rated disability due to neck pain

A

True

31
Q

Describe the neck disability index NDI

  • how many items
  • how much is the score for each item
  • maximum score
  • how to obtain the percentage score
  • what happens if a patient doesn’t complete a question
A

10 items that score from 0 to 5

Maximum score is 50
The obtained score is multiplied by 2 to produce a percentage score

If a question or another are not complete, the average of all the other items is then added to the completed items

32
Q

Neck disability index (NDI) interpretation

A
33
Q

True or false

The higher the NDI score = less disability

A

False

NDI score increases with increasing disability

34
Q

Neck Pain and Disability Scale (NPAD)

  • how many items
  • what does it measure
  • who is it used with ?
A

20 items that measure the intensity of neck pain and related disability (neck movements)
It also measures:
- emotion and cognition
- interference with ADLs

Used with:
- cervical pain syndromes
- CHRONIC neck pain
- C1 - C2 fusion patients

(JUST READ THE REST)

35
Q

True or false

Neck pain and disability scale (NPAD) can be used for patients with acute neck pain

A

False

Chronic neck pain

36
Q

According to research, which patients can NPAD be used with?

A

Cervical pain syndromes
Chronic neck pain
C1-C2 fusion patients

37
Q

NPAD interpretation

A

Higher scores indicate greater disability

38
Q

Does NDI or NPAD involve the use of VAS scales to rate pain?

A

NPAD

39
Q

Tragus to wall test (TWT)

  • what does it objectively measure?
  • What is it a clinical indicator of?
  • Who is it usually used with?
  • Interpretation
A

It objectively measures the CERVICAL MOBILITY of an individual

It is a valid, reliable clinical indicator of FORWARD FLEXED POSTURE

Used for individuals with:
- flexed head and neck posture
- elderly
- Parkinson’s disease
- Ankylosing spondylitis

< 10 cm is normal
Large distances = worse spinal/upper cervical posture

40
Q

True or false

Tragus to wall test (TWT) measures thoracic mobility in an individual

A

False

Cervical mobility

(Occipital to wall distance OWD = thoracic mobility)

41
Q

All of these outcome measures are for what part of the spine?

A

Lumbar spine

42
Q

Is Oswestry disability index (ODI) subjective or objective

A

Subjective because it is a self-report

43
Q

Oswestry disability index (ODI) is used in what cases?

A

Acute or chronic low back pain

44
Q

What does Oswestry disability index (ODI) assess?

A

Symptoms and severity of functional low back pain and the degree to which back or leg pain impacts functional activities

45
Q

The difference between the effectiveness of Oswestry disability index (ODI) and Roland-Morris ?

A

Oswestry disability index (ODI) is more effective for PERSISTENT SEVERE disability

Roland-Morris is more effective for MILD to MODERATE disability

46
Q

True or false

Oswestry disability index (ODI) is used to assess the cervical spine

A

False

Lumbar spine

47
Q

Oswestry disability index (ODI) interpretation

A

The greater the percentage = the greater the disability

48
Q

What does Roland Morris disability questionnaire assess?

A
