NCT03871920 | Unknown

• 1 other identifier: SPEQ
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 250
• Locations: 0 countries
• Sites: N/A

Brief Summary

It is important for physiotherapy in general and for the individual physio-therapist to demonstrate the result of the interventions in physiotherapy. The new short (4 items) generic questionnaire Short Patient Evaluation Questionnaire SPEQ was especially developed for use in private practices to answer the main questions for evaluation of treatment. This research project aims at evaluating the reliability, validity and responsiveness of the SPEQ and at providing an estimate for Minimal Important Difference MID that may be used as threshold for clinical relevant changes.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Test Retest reliability of SPEQ

  Intra-Class Correlation coefficient (using a two way random effects model)

  up to 30 weeks

• Accuracy of the SPEQ

  analysis of accuracy of SPEQ to detect patients who changed in transition question with ROC analysis

  up to 30 weeks

• Criterion Validity

  The validity will be assessed using hypothesis testing of correlations (between SPEQ and existing previously validated measures). The SPEQ has a sufficient criterion validity, if these correlations are at least moderate (rho\>0.5)

  up to 30 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Inner consistancy

  up to 30 weeks

• Construct validity of the SPEQ

  up to 30 weeks

• Responsiveness of the SPEQ

  up to 30 weeks

• Validity of the SPEQ as assessed using Spearman correlations with scores of other previously validated measures

  up to 30 weeks

Other Outcomes (3)

• Smallest sum of the proportions of misclassification

  up to 30 weeks

• Distribution based Minimal Important Difference

  up to 30 weeks

• Anchor based Minimal Important Difference

  up to 30 weeks
