Introduction
Orebro Musculoskeletal Pain Questionnaire (OMPQ) was developed to assist in the identification of clients that are experiencing musculoskeletal pain and are at risk of a delayed recovery leading to longer absence from work, restriction in function and pain. (Hocking, McAuley & Maher 2008; Sattelmayer, Lorenz, Roder & Hilfiger, 2011). OMPQ is used by occupational therapist’s with clients who are effected by pain problems that are resulting in decreased performance at work and/or increase work absence (Brown 2008). The assessment tool is a self-administered questionnaire containing 25 questions. 21 questions use a 0-10 numeric scale. The questions were developed around 5 key ideas: problems with function at work, perceived improvement, …show more content…
Gabel et al (2010) assessed the readability of the OMPQ using the Fletch-Kincaid readability test which was found it to have a grade level of 6.4 and 66.5%. The readability of the assessment impacts the likelihood of the individual successfully completing it. The Flesch-Kincaid shows the OMPQ is easily understood by 11 - 12 year olds (Williamson & Martin, 2010). The OMPQ is also easy to use as it a self-administrated assessment tool and does not require the health professional to have training in how to administer or score with instructions included (Linton & Boersma 2003). Further to this as clinical guidelines in New Zealand recommend the use of the ALBPSQ/OMPQ for use with clients with lower back pain the Accident Compensation Corporation has developed The New Zealand Acute Low Back Pain Guide and The guide to assessing psychosocial yellow flags in acute low back pain. These guides were developed to assist therapist’s in taking a best practice approach to lower back pain (Accident Compensation Corporation, …show more content…
Gabel et al(2010) study took the review of the predictive ability further by using a modified OMPQ. This study identified several limitations of OMPQ such as it lacked a rigorous develop, there had been non-validated modifications and it contains inconsistency wording. Gabel et al (2010) modified the OMPQ to compile with the WHO-ICF themes, it was renamed the Orebro Musculoskeletal screening questionnaire (OMSQ). The OMSQ was then tested in practice, it was found to have a high test-retest reliability of 0.976 and high internal consistency of
