背景和目的 体力工作绩效评估 (PWPE) 是一种功能能力评估。本研究调查了 PWPE 的响应能力。方法测试内部和外部反应能力。对于内部反应性，将参加工作康复计划的一组 (n = 27) 测试前/测试后 PWPE 分数的变化与健康受试者对照组 (n = 30) 的分数进行比较。对康复组进行外部反应性测试，并将其 PWPE 评分的变化与同期标准和经验标准进行比较。结果 测试前后PWPE评分变化比较显示，康复组与对照组有显着差异，但仅在某一部分PWPE有显着差异。项目完成后，六项标准发生了变化，但这些变化与 PWPE 总体评分的变化之间没有显着相关性。讨论和结论 PWPE 工作评分的总体水平似乎无法衡量通过工作康复计划实现的临床显着变化。
Background and purpose The Physical Work Performance Evaluation (PWPE) is a functional capacity evaluation. This study investigated the responsiveness of the PWPE. Methods The internal and external responsiveness was tested. For the internal responsiveness, the change in the pre-/post-test PWPE scores of a group participating in a work rehabilitation program (n = 27) was compared to that of a comparison group of healthy subjects (n = 30). The external responsiveness was tested with the rehabilitation group, and the change in their PWPE scores was compared to concurrent and empirical criteria. Results The comparison of the change in pre-/post-test PWPE scores showed that the change for the rehabilitation group was significantly different from that for the comparison group, but only for one section of the PWPE. Changes in six criteria were seen after completion of the program, but there was no significant correlation between these changes and the change in the overall PWPE score. Discussion and conclusion The overall PWPE level of work score does not appear to have the ability to measure clinically significant changes achieved through a work rehabilitation program.
