The Oswestry Questionnaire
The Oswestry LBP Questionnaire is divided into ten sections designed to assess limitations in

suffered by people with low back pain. This self-administered questionnaire avoids interviewer

administration gives a reliable format. The evaluator has the option of printing a progress graph
for the Oswestry LBP once a minimum of two tests have been completed. The graph can be
printed by clicking New Test from the testing page, then clicking Progress. Alternatively, the
Oswestry LBP progress graph will be included with a Progress Report if that report is printed (see
the Reports section).
Patient Review Questionnaire
The Patient Review Questionnaire takes a look at a client’s progress over the course of a
rehabilitation program. In addition, this questionnaire also takes into account changes in
medication relating to neck pain over the course of the program. This questionnaire was designed
for the Melbourne Protocol with the BTE Multi-Cervical Unit.
Once the patient has completed multiple Client Review Questionnaires, a progress report can be
created illustrating whether improvement has occurred over time. This report is in the form of a
graph.
Superficial Tenderness
The superficial tenderness test allows for an objective analysis of chronic pain with disorders
such as fibromyalgia. Please refer to the Algometer section of this manual for more details.
