AB  - This study established the criterion validity, test-retest reliability and 
      responsiveness of the CareConnections Functional Index (CCFI). The CCFI is 
      composed of four body-region specific subscales, measuring functional ability. 
      Reference standards included the Neck Disability Index; Modified Oswestry 
      Disability Index; Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand and the Lower 
      Extremity Functional Scale. One hundred subjects per body region were enrolled. 
      Subject's rated their perceived improvement based on the 15-point Global Rating 
      of Change questionnaire. Minimal clinically important differences (MCID) were 
      calculated via receiver operator characteristic curve. Test-retest reliability 
      coefficients were good to excellent. Validity correlations with the reference 
      standard measures were acceptable (r > 0.7) for all subscales. MCID for the 
      cervical subscale = 7 points, lumbar = 8 points, upper extremity = 16 points and 
      lower extremity = 11 points. The results of this study support the use of the 
      CCFI in outpatient physical therapy practice as a responsive tool with good 
      reliability and validity. The results also indicate that future work should focus 
      on the impact of baseline patient factors that may affect future outcome.
