The reliability of determining leg dominant pain
The Spine Journal, 06/19/09
Wai EK et al. - A patient's ability to identify whether his or her lumbar spine pain is leg or back dominant may be unreliable and depends on which questions are asked, and also how they are asked. The Percent question is the most reliable method to determine the dominant location of pain. However, given the variability of responses and the generally poorer reliability of many specific questions, it is recommended that multiple methods be used to assess a patient's dominant location of pain.
