Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary VAS Pain Scale The 100 millimeter VAS is a commonly employed self-completed scale for the assessment of pain in adults. The scale is scored using a ruler, by measuring the distance in millimetres, along a 100 millimetres line, from the anchor marked "no pain". 1 minute
Primary SF-MPQ 2 The SF-MPQ 2 is a shorter version of the original McGill Pain Questionnaire. It is a multidimensional measure of pain, consisting of 2 subscales, one for sensory change and one for affective change. I minute
Primary Likert Perception Scale The Likert perception scale is the measurement of the subject's perception of change following the intervention. I minute
Primary Algometry Algometry is the assessment of load-dependent tenderness at a specific anatomical site. 3 minutes
Primary Hand held Dynamometry HHD is a clinical tool for assessing isometric strength 3 minutes
Primary Grip Strength The assessment of hand and grip strength is a useful measure for clinicians in determining functional status. 3 minutes
