Abstract

low back pain

prognosis

screening

questionnaire

validation

The original 'Ã–rebro Musculoskeletal Pain Questionnaire' (original-Ã–MPQ) has been shown to have limitations in practicality, factor structure, face and content validity. This study addressed these concerns by modifying its content producing the 'Ã–rebro Musculoskeletal Screening Questionnaire' (Ã–MSQ). The Ã–MSQ and original-Ã–MPQ were tested concurrently in acute/subacute low back pain working populations (pilot n = 44, main n = 106). The Ã–MSQ showed improved face and content validity, which broadened potential application, and improved practicality with two-thirds less missing responses. High reliability (0.975, p & 0.05, ICC: 2.1), criterion validity (Spearman's r = 0.97) and internal consistency (α = 0.84) were achieved, as were predictive ability cut-off scores from ROC curves (112-120 Ã–MSQ-points), statistically different Ã–MSQ scores (p & 0.001) for each outcome trait, and a strong correlation with recovery time (Spearman's, r = 0.71). The six-component factor structure reflected the constructs originally proposed. The Ã–MSQ can be substituted for the original-Ã–MPQ in this population. Further research will assess its applicability in broader populations.
