Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The Functional Rating Index (FRI) is a self-administered questionnaire composed by 10 items, scored from 0 (better condition) to 4 (worst condition), that evaluate pain, sleep, work and daily activity. The FRI's final score ranges from 0% to 100% (no disability to severe disability). The aim of the study is to translate, culturally adapt and validate the FRI in Italian (I-FRI).

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The aim of the study is to translate, culturally adapt and validate the FRI in Italian (I-FRI). 104 patients were recruited for this study following inclusion/exclusion criteria. After signing the informed consent, each participant completed I-FRI, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK) and Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS). All the patients have done the I-FRI re-test after 7 days from the first test administration.
All statistical analyses have been performed using IBM-SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) version 23.00.
The results have been analyzed through the calculation of the Cronbach's alpha, the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) and the Pearson's correlation coefficient.
