“…7,28,47 The patients in this study were no exception: the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores were comparable to those reported by Davidson et al 7 (mean ODI, 35; SD, 15) and Ohnmeiss et al 28 (82% of patients with ODI scores between 20 and 60). Although the range of disability level is wide, patients typically believe that symptom intensity is highly related to the extent of functional limitation.…”

“…This questionnaire has been shown to have high reliability (reliability coefficients, 0.84-0.99) 3,7,8 and validity. 28 The Physical Functional Scale, which pertains to the ability to walk for 5 functional situations, including farthest walking distance, walking outdoors, for grocery shopping, to different rooms in the house, and between the bedroom and bathroom, was used to assess walking capacity. A grading scale from 1 to 4 was used for each of the 5 items.…”

Study Design: One-group, prospective, cross-sectional study. Objectives: To determine how sensorimotor function, balance, and physical performance are associated with disability and walking capacity in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. Background: Disability and limited walking capacity are often reported by patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. Identification of associated factors could provide information for future investigations leading to better prevention and intervention strategies. Methods and Measures: Fifty patients with lumbar spinal stenosis answered questions regarding symptom intensity, disability, and walking capacity. Muscle strength and vibration sense were assessed to represent sensorimotor function. Balance ability was measured by single-leg stance time and basic physical performance was tested by the up-and-go (UG) test. Regression analyses, entering demographics and symptom intensity as control variables, and sensory, strength, balance, and physical performance as additional independent variables, were conducted separately for disability and walking capacity. Results: Symptom intensity, vibration sense at the big toe, and UG test time were significantly correlated with disability. The final regression model showed that the control variables explained 20% of the variance, while vibration sense and UG test time explained an additional 20% of the variance. Walking capacity was significantly correlated with vibration sense at the big toe and UG test time. No significant regression model emerged for walking capacity. Conclusions: A moderate amount of variance in disability could be explained by sensory function at the big toe and physical performance. These factors should be considered in future research.

“…This was shown to be the case with patients suffering from lumbar spine pain, 38,39 and to some extent in patients with neck pain. 40 -42 Thus, a further novel feature of this study is that the combination of NDI, TSK, and PD has not been used in studies of chronic whiplash patients.…”

It appears that important psychological factors (fear avoidance beliefs and pain amplification) do have some influence on self-ratings of disability in chronic WAD sufferers. This does not appear to be larger than that found in studies of acute/subacute subjects. The influence of these factors may plateau fairly early in the post-WAD period. There is some evidence that the Pain Diagram may provide insight into nonorganic pain behavior.

It was originally derived from 24 of the 136 items Sickness Impact Profile (SIP), 117,118 a generic health measure initially intended for a variety of chronic diseases, with the term because of my back added to each item to make it LBPspecific.…”
