15-item Roland-Morris disability questionnaire for general pain (RMDQ-g): Structural validity and criterion validity on Brazilian patients with chronic pain.
Musculoskelet Sci Pract
August 2023
Background: Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire for general pain (RMDQ-g) is an instrument adapted to assess disability in patients with pain in any region of the body.
Objective: To perform the structural and criterion validity of the RMDQ-g in Brazilian patients with chronic pain.
Design: A cross-sectional study.
15-item Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ-15): structural and criterion validity on patients with chronic low back pain.
BMC Musculoskelet Disord
November 2022
Background: The Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) is one of the most used instruments to measure self-reported disability in patients with low back pain, however, the uncertainty on which version to use may lead to inadequate disability measurement and consequently, improper management of patients with chronic low back pain.
Objective: To propose a short version of the RMDQ, compare it with the other short versions presented by the specialized literature, and identify the best internal structure of the RMDQ for the Brazilian population.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study in which we used confirmatory factor analysis to identify the best structure of the RMDQ.
Ten-Item Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS-10): Instrument Reduction Based on Brazilian Patients With Lower Limb Dysfunction.
Arch Phys Med Rehabil
March 2023
Objective: To propose a short version of the lower extremity functional scale (LEFS), to compare our short version with the different structures proposed for the LEFS by the specialized literature, and to verify the criterion validity of the best structure of the LEFS identified in our study.
Design: Cross-sectional observational study.
Setting: Physiotherapy clinics.
Comparison between pain intensity, functionality, central sensitization, and self-efficacy in individuals with unilateral or bilateral knee osteoarthritis: a cross-sectional study.
Rev Assoc Med Bras (1992)
August 2022
Article Synopsis
- The study compared pain intensity, stiffness, functionality, central sensitization, and self-efficacy between individuals with bilateral knee osteoarthritis and those with unilateral knee osteoarthritis.
- Included were sedentary individuals diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis based on specific criteria like pain duration and imaging results.
- Findings revealed that those with bilateral knee osteoarthritis experience greater central sensitization, impaired physical function, and lower self-efficacy compared to those with unilateral osteoarthritis.
