24 Items of Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire(RM-24)

DISABILITY RATING SCALE FOR LOW BACK PAIN

US English version of the Roland-Morris disability questionnaire from MAPI 2005
The cultural adaptation process described in section 1.2 at the end of the questionnaire.

 (Source: US English Version from http://www.rmdq.org/)


When your back hurts, you may find it difficult to do some of the things you normally do.

This list contains some sentences that people have used to describe themselves when they have back pain. When you read them, you may find that some stand out because they describe you today. As you read the list, think of yourself today. When you read a sentence that describes you today, mark the box next to it. If the sentence does not describe you, then leave the space blank and go on to the next one. Remember, only mark the sentence if you are sure that it describes you today.
