25
Q

Outcome measure used to determine how neck pain affects a patient’s daily life and to assess the self-rated disability of patients with neck pain.

A

Neck Disability Index (NDI)

26
Q

A patient took the self-assessment NDI questionnaire. Their score is 18/50. This score is interpreted as?

A

Moderate disability

Range for moderate: 15-24

27
Q

A patient took the self-assessment NDI questionnaire. Their score is 10/50. This score is interpreted as?

A

Mild disability

Range for mild: 5-14

28
Q

TRUE OR FALSE: In the NDI, the higher the score given translates to better functioning.

A

False

Scoring is reported on a 0-50 scale, 0 being the best possible score and 50 being the worst.

29
Q

This outcome measure assesses symptom and severity of low back
pain in terms of disablement and the degree to which back or leg pain impacts functional activities. It is a self-assessment outcome measure consisting of 10 sections.

A

Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)

30
Q

In the interpretation of ODI scores, the patient got a score of 65% and back pain impinges on all aspects of the patient’s life. Positive intervention
is required. This score is interpreted as?

A

Crippled

Range for crippled: 61-80%

31
Q

In the interpretation of ODI scores, the patient got a score of 58% and pain remains the main problem but activities of daily living are affected. This score is interpreted as?

A

Severe disability

Range for severe disability: 41-60%

32
Q

A 30-item self-report questionnaire
designed to assess musculoskeletal disorders and function of the upper
limbs

A

Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand

33
Q

TRUE OR FALSE: In the DASH questionnaire, the higher the score given translates to worse functioning, more severe disability.

A

True

Additional: A score ranging from 0-29 is interpreted as the “upper limb disorder is no longer a problem”

34
Q

A 13-item self-report questionnaire developed to assess pain, and disability related to shoulder problems. It was designed to measure the impact of shoulder pathology on pain and
disability in an out-patient setting.

A

Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI)

35
Q

The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) consists of 2 subscales, namely?

A
  1. pain (5 items)
  2. disability (8 items)
36
Q

A 20-item self-assessment test that measures the functional capacity of the lower extremities, including the baseline functioning, progress, outcome, and functional goals of the pt. It aims to see the pt’s ability to perform everyday
tasks/ADLs.

A

Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS)

37
Q

TRUE OR FALSE: In the LEFS questionnaire, the higher the score given translates to worse functioning, more severe disability.

A

False

The lower the score = greater disability

38
Q

Maximum score in the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) is

A

80/80

39
Q

What are the 3 areas of assessment in the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS)?

A
  1. Balance
  2. Functional ability
  3. Gait function
