The total score of the PDI as well as the subscale of voluntary activities is responsive. Partly because of floor effects, the subscale obligatory activities are not sufficiently responsive in patients with CBP. However, the responsiveness of this subscale in other patient groups should be further tested. In patients with CBP, change can be considered clinically important when PDI score has decreased 8.5 to 9.5 points.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
