Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Work Ability Index For screening work ability, we will be using the Work Ability Index. The score range of this index is between 7 to 49. A score of 7-27 indicates poor work ability, 28-36 indicates moderate work ability, 37-43 indicates good work ability, and 44-49 indicates excellent work ability. CUPID For screening Upper Quadrant Dysfunction, we will be using CUPID (Cultural and Psychosocial Influence on Disability). This will help us understand how pain has affected your ability to work, with scores ranging from 0 to 10. Timepoint: one time baseline assessment
