Oswestry
Score
This questionnaire
is the J. Fairbanks QA from the journal Physiotherapy 1980; 66: 271, and
comes with a second page, with a pain drawing. Please note that the scoring
methodology is the same as for the NDI.
Roland Morris
The Roland-Morris instrument was developed as an abbreviated SIP (sickness
index profile) and is specific for low back pain, like the Revised Oswestry
Disability Index. This questionnaire of 24 items can be administered in five
minutes and has been validated in randomized trials of spinal manipulation. It
was shown to be at least as reliable as the full SIP in cases of acute low back
pain. It was found to be slightly more responsive to changes over time than the
complete SIP. Compared to the Revised Oswestry Disability Index, the
Roland-Morris instrument is also slightly more responsive to changes in acute to
subacute low back pain. Thanks to the Illinois Chiropractic Society for putting
this Adobe PDF file on line!
