| DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTRUMENT | |
| Type Of Measure | Questionnaire, Scale, VAS |
| Brief Description |
developed to assess the amount of chronic low back pain that affects four aspects of life : pain and intensity, daily and work-leisure activities, anxiety-depression, and social interest |
| Number of Items | 16 |
| Range | from 0 to 10 for each aspects |
| Responses options/scale |
No |
| Developed for | Clinical practice |
| PRACTICAL APPLICATION | |
| Method of administration | Self-administered |
| Recommendations to score |
- Each item is scored with a VAS, divided into five, six, seven or eight small segments (it depends on the question). Scale extremities are labelled with specific words (e.g. ‘no pain’/’all the time’) and with percentage (0%/100%). For every specific question, the patient marks the point on the scale which represents his/her condition. For scoring, 0 points are assigned to the left-hand segment, 1 point to the next segment, 2 points to the next segment and so on to the last segment. Item scores are added and multiplied by a constant to obtain the percentage of pain interference with each of four daily living. - there is no precision about the period to take in account by the patient |
| Score Interpretation | For each aspect : 0, representing the lowest level, to 100, representing the highest level. |
| Cut-off points | --- |
