Abstract
PURPOSE: To investigate the participation restriction of adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients, and its relation with the impairments in body structure and function, and activity limitation, as this important information regarding the individual's perspective on the social impact of the disease on their life is presently not captured. METHODS: Forty-three ASD patients participated in the study and completed the impact on participation and autonomy (IPA) questionnaire to assess the level of participation. Activity limitations and impairments were measured with the Balance Evaluation Systems Test (BESTest) and Scoliosis Research Society-22r (SRS-22). Also, age, body height, body weight, BMI, Mini-mental state examination and Cumulative Illness Rating Scale were assessed. A univariate linear regression analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship between the IPA and the independent variables, whereas a multivariate analysis identified the significant predictive variables for the IPA questionnaire. RESULTS: The univariate analysis identified performance on the BESTest and SRS-22 as significantly (p < 0.001) related to the IPA questionnaire. The multiple regression analysis revealed that the performance on BESTest (p = 0.073) and SRS-22 (p < 0.001) independently predicted the IPA questionnaire, explaining 73.5% of its variance. CONCLUSION: To fully understand the impact of ASD on the individual's functioning, disability and health-status, it is suggested that questionnaires on participation to society should be considered, together with clinical postural tests (e.g. the BESTest) and questionnaires related to HRQOL (e.g. the SRS-22), in the ASD care path. This additional information should allow the surgeon to make a more informed selection of surgical patients.
