TLDR
RMQ is suitable for measuring change in LBP only patients and both ODI and RMQ are suitable for leg pain patients irrespectively of patient entry point, which is not affected by baseline score when patients quantified an important improvement.Abstract:
Background
The choice of an evaluative instrument has been hampered by the lack of head-to-head comparisons of responsiveness and the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in subpopulations of low back pain (LBP). The objective of this study was to concurrently compare responsiveness and MCID for commonly used pain scales and functional instruments in four subpopulations of LBP patients.read more

Estimating Minimal Clinically Important Differences of Upper-Extremity Measures Early After Stroke
Catherine E. Lang,Dorothy F. Edwards,Dorothy F. Edwards,Rebecca L. Birkenmeier,Alexander W. Dromerick +4 more
TL;DR: The authors' data provide some of the first estimates of MCID values for upper-extremity standardized measures early after stroke, and future studies with larger sample sizes are needed to refine these estimates and to determine whetherMCID values are modified by time poststroke.
