Authors: Barbara I Polus, Amanda J Kimpton, Max J Walsh

Published in: Chiropractic & Manual Therapies | Issue 1/2011

Abstract

Background

The objective was to assess the use of the Measure Yourself Medical Outcome Profile (MYMOP2) and W-BQ12 well-being questionnaire for measuring clinical change associated with a course of chiropractic treatment.

Methods

Chiropractic care of the patients involved spinal manipulative therapy (SMT), mechanically assisted techniques, soft tissue therapy, and physiological therapeutic devices.

Outcome measures used were MYMOP2 and the Well-Being Questionnaire 12 (W-BQ12).

Results

Statistical and clinical significant changes were demonstrated with W-BQ12 and MYMOP2.

Conclusions

The study demonstrated that MYMOP2 was responsive to change and may be a useful instrument for assessing clinical changes among chiropractic patients who present with a variety of symptoms and clinical conditions.
