In February 2001, Physical Therapy (PTJ) published "A Comparison of a Modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire and the Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale," by Fritz JM and Irrgang JJ. Appendix 1 of this article included a modification of the original Oswestry questionnaire published by Fairbank JCT, Couper J, Davies JB, et al ("The Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire." Physiotherapy. 1980;66:271-273). Prior to publication, PTJ had requested and received the permission of Physiotherapy/The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, the publisher, to modify the Oswestry Disabilty Index (ODI) contained in the 1980 article by Fairbank et al. It has come to our attention that Fairbank and his co-authors hold the rights to the ODI. Accordingly, PTJ has reprinted Appendix 1 of Fritz and Irrgang, which has been revised to change its title from "Modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire" to "Modified Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire" (see below). We request that, going forward, authors and readers use this revised version of Appendix 1, which also can be found at http://www.ptjournal.org/cgi/content/full/81/2/776/DC1.
