This review analyzes nine low back pain questionnaires, evaluating their technical aspects like reliability and validity. It aids clinicians in selecting the most appropriate condition-specific assessment tool for patients.

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Clinical Assessment
  • Health Outcomes Research

Background:

  • Low back pain is a prevalent condition requiring effective assessment tools.
  • Numerous condition-specific, self-administered questionnaires exist for evaluating low back pain.
  • Selecting the optimal assessment tool is crucial for accurate patient evaluation and treatment planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a literature review of the nine most widely used, condition-specific, self-administered assessment questionnaires for low back pain.
  • To analyze key technical and psychometric properties of these widely used outcome measures.
  • To provide essential information for clinicians to define the technical aspects of these questionnaires.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review methodology was employed.

  • Analysis encompassed general and historic aspects, reliability, responsiveness, minimum clinically important difference, external validity, floor and ceiling effects, and available languages.
  • Nine widely used, condition-specific, self-administered low back pain assessment questionnaires were evaluated.

    • Main Results:

    • The review systematically analyzed critical psychometric properties of nine leading low back pain questionnaires.
    • Data on reliability, responsiveness, validity, and other technical aspects were compiled for each tool.
    • Information regarding language availability was also assessed.

    Conclusions:

    • This overview provides crucial information on the technical aspects of nine prominent low back pain assessment questionnaires.
    • The findings will assist healthcare professionals in selecting appropriate condition-specific measures for patient assessment.
    • Part II of this evaluation will further examine the construction of these scales in relation to measurement domains.
