TLDR
The French-language adaptation and validation of the Roland and Morris Disability Questionnaire proved rapid, simple to use, reliable, valid, and sensitive to changes in clinical status, suggesting that its widespread use may be possible in settings ranging from epidemiological or clinical research to individual LBP patient evaluation in daily clinical practice.
Abstract
Functional disability is one of the main components of low back pain (LBP)-associated morbidity and should be taken into account in the evaluation and care of patients. This article describes the French-language adaptation and validation of the Roland and Morris Disability Questionnaire. This self-administered questionnaire proved rapid, simple to use, reliable, valid, and sensitive to changes in clinical status, suggesting that its widespread use may be possible in settings ranging from epidemiological or clinical research to individual LBP patient evaluation in daily clinical practice.

Measures of function in low back pain/disorders: Low Back Pain Rating Scale (LBPRS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Progressive Isoinertial Lifting Evaluation (PILE), Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale (QBPDS), and Roland‐Morris Disability Questionnaire (RDQ)

TL;DR: For the selection of the self-reported disability questionnaires and lifting performance tasks, the only questionnaires/tests that are low back pain specific and of which all psychometric, including responsiveness, properties have been studied in relevantLow back pain populations and published in peer-reviewed journals are selected.

Parkinson’s disease with camptocormia

TL;DR: Patients with camptocormia were characterised by prominent levodopa-unresponsive axial symptoms (ie, axial rigidity, gait disorder and postural instability), along with a tendency for greater error in the antisaccade paradigm, and it is suggested that the salient features of parkinsonism observed in patients with camps are likely to represent a specific form of Parkinson’s disease.

TL;DR: Acupressure was effective in reducing low back pain in terms of disability, pain scores, and functional status and the benefit was sustained for six months.

Prevalence of low back pain and its effect on health-related quality of life in adolescents.

TL;DR: Low back pain in adolescents is a prevalent symptom with overall low associated disability and little effect on health-related quality of life and a subset of adolescents in whom LBP is associated with whole-body pain report significant impairment and deserve more attention.
