TI  - The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis, Lequesne

      Analogue Scale in patients with knee osteoarthritis: responsiveness and minimal 
      clinically important differences.

AB  - PURPOSE: The goal of this study was to see whether the Western Ontario and 
      McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis index (WOMAC), Lequesne Algofunctional index 
      and the Arthritis Impact Measurement Scale-short form (AIMS2-SF) could changes 
      after physiotherapy interventions (i.e., responsiveness) and to determine Minimal 
      Clinically Important Difference (MCID) in the performance of the people with knee 
      osteoarthritis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A convenient sample of 116 people with 
      knee osteoarthritis completed the tools at baseline and then again after 10 
      sessions physiotherapy intervention. Two techniques were used to determine 
      responsiveness: The receiver operating characteristics (ROC) method and the 
      correlation analysis. RESULT: All of the tools showed the AUC of greater than 
      0.70 (AUC ranges = 0.72 - 0.83). For the WOMAC, Lequesne Algofunctional index, 
      AIMS2-SF and VAS-pain, optimal cutoff points were 12.5, 2.75, 4.5 and 2.5 points, 
      respectively. The gamma correlation between WOMAC, Lequesne Algofunctional index, 
      AIMS2-SF, VAS-pain, and Global Rating Change (GRC) scores was 0.55, 0.52, 0.40, 
      and 0.46, respectively. CONCLUSION: In people with knee osteoarthritis, the WOMAC 
      has the maximum responsiveness to clinical changes. The MCID values identify in 
      this study will aid in determining whether or not an individual with knee 
      osteoarthritis has undergone a true improvement since receiving physiotherapy. 
      IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONThe results of this study provide valuable 
      information regarding to the ability of outcome measures to detect treatment 
      effects in patients with knee osteoarthritis.The WOMAC questionnaire is a 
      responsive tool to measure the changes in functional activity due to 
      physiotherapy intervention in patients with knee osteoarthritis.A patient with 
      knee osteoarthritis had to change at least 12.5 scores on the WOMAC to be judged 
      as having clinically changed.
