Brief Summary

The main objective of the study is to describe function and health related to quality of life during the first year after rehabilitation, to measure the degree and impact of user involvement in the rehabilitation process, assess factors associated with change in work -ability and -participation, and to test measurement properties of a new core set of outcome measures for rehabilitation launched by the Norwegian Directorate of Health.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• The EuroQoL-5D-5L

  5-item questionnaire assessing function and health in walking, ADL, personal care, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Sores could be calculated both as numbers and 'utilities'.

  1-3 minutes

• The EuroQoL-VAS health

  The EUROQUOL 5D-5L includes a 100 mm VAS scale/thermometer. Index value: 0-1, 1 is best VAS gen health: 0-100, 100 is best

  1-2 minutes

• The Patient Specific Functional Scale (PSFS)

  Patient-specific instrument. Up to five activities are described by the patient, and scored according to experienced performance (0-10, 10 is best).

  2-6 minutes

• PROMIS 29

  The PROMIS-29, a generic health-related quality of life survey, assesses each of the 7 PROMIS domains (depression; anxiety; physical function; pain interference; fatigue; sleep disturbance; and ability to participate in social roles and activities) with 4 questions. The questions are ranked on a 5-point Likert Scale. There is also one 11-point rating scale for pain intensity.

  5-10 minutes

  3-8 minutes
