    Cross-cultural adaptation stage:

    The FRI was cross-culturally adapted to Thai (called the Thai FRI) and the pre-final version of the Thai FRI was administered to patients.

    Psychometric properties testing stage:

    The questionnaires were administered 3 times: the first visit, the second visit and at 2 weeks.

    At the first visit: the patients with back pain completed the Thai FRI , Thai Roland-Morris Disability (Thai RM), Thai modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability (Thai modified ODQ), Thai multi-level Roland-Morris Disability (Thai multi-level RM). The patients with neck pain completed the Thai FRI and Thai Neck Disability Index.

    At the second visit: all patients completed the Thai FRI and Global Perceived Effect Scale (GPES).

    At 2 weeks: the patients completed the same questionnaires as the first visit. All patients and their treating physical therapists completed the GPES.

What does the primary outcome measure?

questionnaire scores at the first visit (time frame: 20-25 minutes each time). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
