The pick-up test for assessing performance of a daily activity in patients with back pain
STRAND LI; LJUNGGREN E
ADV PHYSIOTHER , 2001, vol. 3, p. 17-27 Doc n°: 99713 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : CE51 - LOMBALGIE Measures of physical performance should address the activity dimension directly and reflect functional probelms important to patients with a defined health condition. The Pick-up test was developed for patients with back pain by the first author, and requires the patient to pick up a piece of paper from the floor. Performance is scored by a clinician along a four point ordinal scale, scores depending on dynamic flexibility and ease of motion. This study is about the development of the Pick-up test and the establishment of reliability, validity and responsiveness to change. Inter-tester reliability was acceptable (K= O,74). Test scores discriminated between groups of patients with back pain and other musculoskeletal pain, and reflected perceived difficulty in pick-up as well as dressing tasks among patients with back pain. Test scores were also related to affective pain reports. Baseline test scores did not predict return to work after 1 year. The test was responsive to clinically significant change over time. Evidence was provided that the test can be used as a functional assessment tool, and is suggested for use as an outcome measure. Whether or not hte Pick-up test reflects performance of other dynamic physical activities in back pain needs to be examined. Langue : ANGLAIS Tiré à part : OUI Identifiant basis : 2001215653 |
