“…In this study, the RMDQ showed significant correlation with FABQ-P (r=0.372, P =0.005), FABQ-W (r=0.433, P =0.001), FABQ-total (r=0.455, P =0.000), VAS (r=0.530, P =0.000), and ODI (r=0.592, P =0.000). Caporaso et al (2012) reported significant correlation of Baseline RMDQ scores with function test scores, except for the sock test ( P <0.05). These results show that because of pain, patients have increased pain intensity and limited physical activity.…”

This study was conducted in order to determine the relationship among fear-avoidance beliefs, pain and disability index in patients with low back pain as well as to identify factors having an influence on fear-avoidance beliefs, pain and disability index. The subjects used in this study were 55 patients with low back pain. All subjects completed a fear-avoidance beliefs questionnaire (FABQ) which was divided into two subscales, FABQ for physical activity (FABQ-P) and FABQ for work (FABQ-W), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ). In correlation analysis, FABQ-P appeared to show significant correlation with FABQ-W, FABQ-total, VAS and RMDQ, and all variables showed significant correlation with each other. Findings of this study suggest that screening for fear-avoidance beliefs may be useful for identification of patients at risk of psychosocial problems as well as pain intensity and physical impairment.

“…It may be difficult to determine the difference between loss of capacity or reduced performance. Disability is generally assessed by self-report questionnaires, which may not be equivalent to the actual performance or capacity (59). Disability is usually influenced by several psychosocial factors (18;60).…”

“…Several authors have recommended the use of physical capacity tasks [13, 15–19], during which the patient performs a standardized activity in the clinic rather than self-reporting his/her ability to perform the activity [17]. An example of a physical capacity task is the timed up-and-go, which measures the time it takes for a person to rise from a chair, walk three meters, turn around, walk back to the chair and sit down [17].…”

Background Physical capacity tasks are useful tools to assess functioning in patients with low back pain (LBP), but evidence is scarce regarding the responsiveness (ability to detect change over time) and minimal important change (MIC). The aim was to investigate the responsiveness and MIC of 5-min walk, 1-min stair climbing, 50-ft walk, and timed up-and-go in patients with chronic LBP undergoing lumbar fusion surgery. Methods In this clinimetric study, 118 patients scheduled for lumbar fusion surgery for motion-elicited chronic LBP with degenerative changes were included. All patients performed the physical capacity tasks 5-min walk, 1-min stair climbing, 50-ft walk, and timed up-and-go 8–12 weeks before and six months after surgery. Responsiveness was evaluated by testing five a priori responsiveness hypotheses. The hypotheses concerned the area under the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve and correlations (Spearman’s rho) between the change scores of the physical capacity tasks, the Oswestry Disability Index 2.0 (ODI), and back pain intensity measured with visual analog scale (VAS). At least 80% of the hypotheses would have to be confirmed for adequate responsiveness. Absolute and relative MICs for improvement were determined by the optimal cut-off point of the ROC curve based on the classification of improved and unchanged patients according to construct-specific global perceived effect (GPE) scales. Results One-minute stair climbing, 50-ft walk and timed up-and-go displayed adequate responsiveness (≥ 80% of hypotheses confirmed), while 5-min walk did not (40% of hypotheses confirmed). The absolute MICs for improvement were 45.5 m for 5-min walk, 20.0 steps for 1-min stair climbing, − 0.6 s for 50-ft walk, and − 1.3 s for timed up-and-go. Conclusions The results of responsiveness for 1-min stair climbing, 50-ft walk, and timed up-and-go implies that these have the ability to detect changes in physical capacity over time in patients with chronic LBP who have undergone lumbar fusion surgery.
