Objective[edit | edit source]
The PGQ is a condition-specific instrument that assesses activity limitations (activity subscale with 20 items) and symptoms (symptom subscale with 5 items)7 in patients with pelvic girdle pain. Items are scored on a 4-point descriptive scale, and item scores are summed and transformed to yield a score of 0 to 100, where 100 is the worst possible score. The PGQ was developed for patients with pelvic girdle pain in pregnancy as well as postpartum. For people with Pelvic Girdle Pain for use in research and clinical practice.
Intended Population[edit | edit source]
For people with Pelvic Girdle Pain during pregnancy and postpartum.
Method of Use[edit | edit source]
Self-report questionnaire of 20 activity items and 5 symptom items on a 4-point response scale.
Evidence[edit | edit source]
There is little evidence for the measurement properties of instruments commonly used for women with pelvic girdle pain. The PGQ is the first condition-specific measure developed for people with PGP. The PGQ had acceptably high reliability and validity in people with PGP both during pregnancy and postpartum, it is simple to administer, and it is feasible for use in clinical practice. [1]
Reliability[edit | edit source]
Test-retest reliability showed high intraclass correlation coefficient estimates: .93 (95% confidence interval 0.86–0.96) for the PGQ activity subscale and .91 (95% confidence interval 0.84–0.95) for the PGQ symptom subscale. [1]
