    ObjectiveTo evaluate the measurement properties of the Revised Oswestry Disability Questionnaire (RODQ) by using rating scale analyses.DesignCalibration of item responses by using a data set.SettingFour outpatient therapy clinics in the northeastern United States.PatientsConvenience sample of 95 community-dwelling adults exhibiting mild to severe low back pain-related disability (LBP-D).InterventionsNot applicable.Main Outcome MeasureThe RODQ.ResultsSeveral Rasch analyses were performed, with 1 item deleted and 2 response categories collapsed, creating a better test without increased error. A schema for item administration and evaluation was also developed.ConclusionsBy using the abbreviated scale, suggested item order, and predicted responses, abbreviated versions of the instrument can be applied to measure LBP-D more efficiently.Copyright 2002 by the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine and the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
