Spine Functional Index	Spine Functional Index is a single page of 25 items with a three-point respond option. The score of 25 items is summed and this score is then multiplied by four and deducted from 100 (0 % score = max disability or functional loss and 100 % score = no impairments or normal).	1st day
Roland-Morris Questionnaire	Roland-Morris Questionnaire is a self-administered disability measure in which greater levels of disability are reflected by higher numbers on a 24-point scale.	1st day
Neck Disability Index	Neck Disability Index contains total 50 scores. 5 marks for each statement. If the response is missing then the score will not be conducted or included in total marks.	1st day
Oswestry Low Back Pain Index	Oswestry Low Back Pain Index is an extremely important tool that researchers and disability evaluators use to measure a patient's permanent functional disability. The test is considered the 'gold standard' of low back functional outcome tools.
