The goal of this study was to translate and adapt The Pain Disability Questionnaire (PDQ) to Brazilian Portuguese, as well as to assess its psychometric properties and practicability. The following methodological steps were followed: translation, synthesis, back-translation, expert committee assessment and pre-test. The psychometric properties were assessed through the application of a questionnaire to 119 patients with chronic musculoskeletal disorders. The Pain Disability Questionnaire: estudio de confiabilidad y validaciónEl objetivo de este estudio fue traducir y adaptar el Cuestionario The Pain Disability Questionnaire (PDQ) para el portugués de Brasil, evaluando sus propiedades psicométricas y la usabilidad. Fueron seguidos los siguientes pasos metodológicos: traducción, síntesis, retrotraducción, evaluación por un comité de expertos y realización de una prueba piloto.Las propiedades psicométricas fueron evaluadas por la aplicación del cuestionario en 119 pacientes con lesiones musculares. Los resultados indican la confiabilidad del instrumento con el coeficiente alfa de Cronbach de 0,86, y alta estabilidad en la prueba piloto. Una correlación moderada se encontró entre las puntuaciones de la PDQ y la escala numérica del dolor. Correlaciones negativas fueron observadas entre el Spitzer Quality of Life Index y la condición funcional, el componente psicosocial, y la puntuación total de la PDQ. La validez del constructo demostró una diferencia significativa en las puntuaciones del PDQ entre sujetos sintomáticos y asintomáticos. El PDQ demostró ser rápido y comprensible.Los resultados indicaron una exitosa adaptación cultural y propiedades psicométricas confiables.Descriptores: Validez de las Pruebas; Reproducibilidad de Resultados; Medidas; Personas con Discapacidad; Enfermedades Musculoesqueléticas.

“…Although the majority of assessment protocols aim to evaluate the physical parameters classified in the Body Functions and Structures component, there are instruments that allow the assessment of functional status of patients with LBP 22,23 . The impact caused by LBP on the functionality of individuals that suffer from this health condition is a consensus among health professionals, which reinforces the importance to consider the specific functional profile of each patient in assessment and intervention procedures 10 .…”

“…This environment includes environmental factors, all aspects of the physical, social and behavioral world 9 . To assess the functional performance of LBP patients, several instruments are proposed by the literature, such as the "Roland Morris" and "Oswestry Low Back Pain" questionnaires, the "Disability Questionnaire", the "Waddell Disability Index" and the "Sickness Impact Profile" 22 . The Roland Morris Questionnaire has been widely used in research and clinical practice as it has been translated, adapted and validated for the Brazilian population.…”

© Revista Brasileira de FisioterapiaCorrelation between a functional performance questionnaire and physical capability tests among patients with low back pain Correlação entre um questionário de desempenho funcional e testes de capacidade física em pacientes com lombalgia Ocarino JM 1,2 , Gonçalves GGP 2 , Vaz DV 2 , Cabral AAV 3 , Porto JV 3 , Silva MT 3 AbstractContextualization: Low back pain is a set of painful manifestations that may cause limitations to several aspects of an individual's life. The model of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) proposed by the World Health Organization provides a structure for understanding the functioning and disability associated with health conditions, thus enabling significant descriptions of an individual's health. The ICF uses the terms "capacity" and "performance" to refer to different aspects of function and to differentiate between patients' functional status. In clinical practice, it is necessary to determine whether there is any association between these different aspects. Objectives: To analyze the correlation between the Roland Morris functional performance questionnaire and physical capacity tests (sit-to-stand and 50-foot walk) among patients with low back pain. Methods: Thirty patients of mean age 43.16 years, with a diagnosis of low back pain, were assessed using the Roland Morris questionnaire and the capacity tests. Results: Analysis using Pearson's correlation showed a significant but weak correlation between the Roland Morris score and the sit-to-stand test (r=0.38; p=0.0388). No significant correlation was observed between the questionnaire score and the 50-foot walk test (r=0.24; p=0.1862). Conclusion:The results indicate the need to use instruments that evaluate both aspects of function (capacity and performance) among patients with low back pain, so that a more complete functional profile of such individuals can be defined.

“…There are various reasons for evaluating the quality of life of people with back pain, including the need to establish objectives and plan treatment, to monitor the evolution of pain and to assess the outcome of the care (3) . Therefore, there are various advantages to be gained from the use of a standardized clinical protocol for the treatment of low back pain (4) .…”

“…The use of the Spitzer (QLI) has been reported in the international literature mainly in relation to the evaluation of the quality of life of elderly patients with musculoskeletal disorders (6) . In addition, Spitzer (QLI) is also being used in clinical protocols to evaluate the efficacy of treatments for low back pain (4) , and is also being used in studies as an instrument to evaluate the quality of life of patients with back pain (9) . The Spitzer (QLI) is originally intended to be filled out by healthcare professionals.…”
