Interpretation of SRS-22r Scores

The Scoliosis Research Society-22 Revised (SRS-22r) is a questionnaire used to evaluate the quality of life for individuals with scoliosis. It includes 22 questions divided into several categories that assess different aspects of a patient’s well-being. Here’s how to interpret the scores in simple terms:

Categories

1. Function/Activity: Measures how well the person can perform daily activities.

2. Pain: Assesses the level of pain experienced by the person.

3. Self-Image/Appearance: Evaluates how the person feels about their appearance.

4. Mental Health: Looks at the person’s emotional and psychological well-being.

5. Satisfaction with Management: Gauges how satisfied the person is with their treatment.

Scoring

Each question is scored on a scale from 1 to 5:

· 1: Worst outcome (e.g., severe pain, very limited activity, very dissatisfied)

· 5: Best outcome (e.g., no pain, no limitations, very satisfied)
