Objective[edit | edit source]
First published in 1983 and reviewed in 2000, the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire[1] (RMDQ) is designed to assess self-rated physical disability caused by low back pain. [2]
Intended Population[edit | edit source]
The Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire is most sensitive for patients with mild to moderate disability due to acute, sub-acute, or chronic low back pain. 0The Sickness Impact Profile (SIP), a 136-item health status assessment spanning all facets of physical and mental function, served as the foundation for the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire. The original authors chose 24 elements from the SIP because they were explicitly relevant to bodily processes that low back pain was expected to influence.
For patients with severe disability the Oswestry Disability Indexis recommended. [3]
Method of Use and Scoring Interpretation[edit | edit source]
There are different questionnaires available, which differ from each other in the number of statements: 24-, 18- and 11-item questionnaires. It has also been adapted across cultures and translated for use in different countries.
The patient is asked to tick a statement when it applies to him that specific day, this makes it possible to follow changes in time. The end score is the sum of the ticked boxes. The score ranges from 0 (no disability) to 24 (max. disability) depending on the questionnaire used. [2] Roland and Morris omitted describing the various levels of disability (for example, 40%–60% of disability is severe). Based on the study of serial questionnaire scores, clinical changes over time can be rated. We would calculate an 80% improvement (12/15 x 100) if, for instance, a patient had a score of 15 at the start of therapy and a score of 3 at the end (12 points of improvement)[4].
Questions[edit | edit source]
It can be administered face-to-face, electronically, or over the phone. There are questionnaires in different languages, available online for free for clinicians to use via the website of the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire.

Reliability[edit | edit source]
Macedo et al. (2011) looked at the results from different studies for the reliability of the 24-, 18- and 11-item RMDQ: [6]
- Test-retest reliability 24-item: intraclass correlation (ICC) ranges from 0.42 – 0.91
- Test-retest reliability 18-item Stratford: ICC ranges from 0.68 – 0.75
- Test-retest reliability 11-item: ICC ranges from 0.89
Validity[edit | edit source]
Content validity:
- The RMDQ is limited as it only covers specific physical problems, not psychological or social ones. In case these problems should be investigated as well, other measuring of these functions is advised.[2]
Construct validity:[2]
- Construct validity defines the degree to which the test measures the variables it is supposed to measure.
The RMDQ correlates well with other tests which measure physical disability:
- Physical subscales of SF-36
- Physical subscales of Sickness Impact Profile
- Quebec Low Back Scale
- Oswestry Disability Questionnaire
- Pain ratings
Responsiveness[edit | edit source]
Internal responsiveness:[6]
- Internal responsiveness shows the ability of a test to measure differences in time.
- Using effect sizes:
- 24-item: ranges from 0.63-0.71
- 18-item Stratford: ranges from 0.73-0.82
- 11-item: ranges from 0.61-0.69
External responsiveness:[6]
- External responsiveness gives the relation between the results measured with RMDQ and the results measured with the Global Perceived Effect Scale (GPE scale)
- Pearson correlation with GPE Scale:
- 24-item: ranges from 0.45-0.54
- 18-item Stratford: ranges from 0.44-0.53
- 11-item: ranges from 0.39-0.49
