Assessment of BMD before and after treatment

This is a self-perceived severity of back pain. The scores range from minimum 0 (no pain) to maximum 10 (most painful) in a scale of severity. Hence, a higher value represents worse outcome. There are two subquestions: 1) What the patient indicates as the most severe pain in the past 24 hours of answering the questionnaire; 2) The patient indicates the score of the usual pain status in the past 24 hours. 0 represents no pain, 1-3 represents mild pain (nagging, annoying, interfering little with ADLs), 4-6 represents moderate pain (interferes significantly with ADLs), and 7-10 represents severe pain (disabling; unable to perform ADLs).

This is a general osteoporosis score with 15 questions split into three categories (mobility, balance and transfer). A Likert scale of 6 answers are possible for each question from "no difficulties" to "unable to perform" in a scale of severity. A total score can be tabulated from adding all domain scores. Higher values indicate better outcome. A 0-100 scale provides a total score, where 0 indicates the worst health status and 100 no difficulties.
