Name Time Method Oswestry Disability Index Baseline, 60 day, 1 year Change in pain and function after spine fusion surgery was measured by the Oswestry Disability Index. Scores range from 0 to 100.
The questionnaire has 10 questions about pain intensity, personal care, lifting ability, walking ability, sitting ability, standing ability, sleeping ability, sex ability, social life, and travelling. Each question is followed by 6 options which describe the amount of disability a patient may face in these situations and the patient marks the statement most applicable to them. Each question is scored on a scale (0-5) with the first option "0" indicating the least amount of disability and "5" indicating the most severe disability. Higher scores indicate worse outcomes, lower scores indicate better outcomes.
