“…The Appearance domain is based on 10 drawings (items 1-10) with a score of 1 (least deformity) to 5 (greatest deformity) and a possible range from 10 to 50. The Expectations domain comprises four questions (items [11][12][13][14] and answers consisting of a five-point Likert scale, with a total sum ranging from 4 (lower expectations) to 20 (higher expectations) [9,10]. For the statistical analysis questions, 6 and 13 were used.…”

“…The Spinal Appearance Questionnaire (SAQ) includes a question (item 6) which specifically asks the patient to rate their subjective perception of ShB. In addition, the instrument provides a scale (SAQ expectations) for determining the patient's expectations about treatment and, specifically, their expectations for ShB (item 13) [9][10][11].…”

Considering the limitations of traditional energy-saving policies, a kind of energy conservation method called the Information Feedback to Residential Electricity Load Customers, which could impact the demand response capacity, has increasingly received more attention. However, most of the current feedback programs provide the same feedback information to all customers regardless of their diverse characteristics, which may reduce the energy-saving effects or even backfire. This paper attempts to investigate how different types of customers may change their behaviors under a set of customized feedback. We conducted a field survey study in Qinhuangdao (QHD), China. First, we conducted semi-structured interviews to classify four groups of customers of different energy-saving awareness, energy-saving potential, and behavioral variability. Then, 156 QHD households were surveyed using scenarios to collect feedback of different scenarios. Social science theories were used to guide the discussion on the behavior changes as a result of different feedback strategies and reveal the reasons for customers' behaviors. Using the Chi-Square test of independence, the variables that have strong correlations with the categories of residents are extracted to provide references for residents' classification. Finally, the practical implications and needs for future research are discussed.

“…81 Patient-perceived spinal deformity was measured using the Spinal Appearance Questionnaire (SAQ). In its refined format, it has two domains -appearance (10 items) and satisfaction (4 items) -and has been shown to be valid and reliable, 82 although a minimally clinically important difference has yet to be derived.…”

BackgroundThe feasibility of conducting a definitive randomised controlled trial (RCT) evaluating the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of scoliosis-specific exercises (SSEs) for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is uncertain.ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of conducting a large, multicentre trial of SSE treatment for patients with AIS, in comparison with standard care, and to refine elements of the study design. The objectives were to (1) update a systematic review of controlled trials evaluating the efficacy of SSE in AIS; (2) survey UK orthopaedic surgeons and physiotherapists to determine current practice, patient populations and equipoise; (3) randomise 50 adolescents to a feasibility trial of either usual care or SSE interventions across a range of sites; (4) develop, document and assess acceptability and adherence of interventions; (5) assess and describe training requirements of physiotherapists; and (6) gain user input in all relevant stages of treatment and protocol design.DesignMulticomponent feasibility study including UK clinician survey, systematic literature review and a randomised feasibility trial.SettingThe randomised feasibility study involved four secondary care NHS trusts providing specialist care for patients with AIS.ParticipantsThe randomised feasibility study recruited people aged 10–16 years with mild AIS (Cobb angle of < 50°).InterventionsThe randomised study allocated participants to standard practice of advice and education or a physiotherapy SSE programme supported by a home exercise plan. Our choice of intervention was informed by a systematic review of exercise interventions for AIS.Main outcome measuresThe main outcome was feasibility of recruitment to the randomised study. Other elements were to inform choice of outcomes for a definitive trial and included curve severity, quality of life, requirement for surgery/brace, adverse events, psychological symptoms, costs and health utilities.ResultsA UK survey of orthopaedic consultants and physiotherapists indicated a wide variation in current provision of exercise therapy through physiotherapy services. It also found that clinicians from at least 15 centres would be willing to have their patients involved in a full study. A systematic review update found five new studies that were generally of low quality but showed some promise of effectiveness of SSE. The randomised study recruited 58 patients from four NHS trusts over 11 months and exceeded the pre-specified target recruitment rate of 1.4 participants per centre per month, with acceptable 6-month follow-up (currently 73%). Adherence to treatment was variable (56% of participants completed treatment offered). The qualitative study found the exercise programme to be highly acceptable. We learnt important lessons from patient and public involvement during the study in terms of study and intervention presentation, as well as practical elements such as scheduling of intervention sessions.ConclusionsA definitive RCT evaluating clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of SSE for idiopathic scoliosis is warranted and feasible. Such a RCT is a priority for future work in the area. There is a sufficiently large patient base, combined with willingness to be randomised within specialist UK centres. Interventions developed during the feasibility study were acceptable to patients, families and physiotherapists and can be given within the affordability envelope of current levels of physiotherapy commissioning.Trial registrationCurrent Controlled Trials ISRCTN90480705.FundingThis project was funded by the NIHR Health Technology Assessment programme and will be published in full inHealth Technology Assessment; Vol. 19, No. 55.

Spinal Appearance Questionnaire

Abstract: The SAQ is a valid measure of self-image in patients with AIS with greater correlation to curve magnitude than SRS Appearance and Total score. It also discriminates between patients who require surgery from those who do not.
