Hi,
Is anyone out there familiar with the Western Ontario and McMaster
Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC)?
I am trying to locate some sort of user guide or guidelines to
the scoring system. Specifically, can one compare answers between the
Likert and Visual Analogue versions of the index? I would like to
know how each are scored.
I have a couple of papers from 1988 by Bellamy that describes the
validation process but does not give the final version or a proper
explanation of how the answers are scores.
If anyone is familiar with this tool then I would really like to hear
from you.
