Feasibility and Impact of a Tele-rehabilitation Program in Patients With Chronic and Non-specific Neck Pain

Using the Neck Disability Index (NDI). It is made up of 10 items and each item is scored on a 6-point Likert scale (0 to 5), leading to a total score ranging from 0 to 50 (0 to 4 = no disability; 5 to 14 = mild disability; 15 to 24 = moderate disability; 25 to 34 = severe disability; and 35 to 50 = complete disability).

Using the Short Form 12 Health Survey (SF-12). It is made up of a subset of 12 items from the SF-36 (physical function, social function, physical role, emotional role, mental health, vitality, bodily pain and general health), including 1-2 items from each of the 8 scales of the SF-36.

Using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). It consists of two series of seven questions (a total of 14 items), one represents the anxiety subscale and the other the depression. Each item is valued according to a four-point frequency scale that ranges from 0 to 3 (0 = I always do it; 1 = not so much; 2 = definitely not that much; 3 = not at all).

Using the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia-11 (TSK-11), self-report of 17 items that address fear of movement and injury relapse. Four of the items are negatively written and scored inverse (4, 8, 12 and 16). The scores are added together to obtain a total score, with higher values reflecting greater kinesiophobia.

Using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Each item is scored 0-10 (0= no pain; 10= the major pain that the patient can imagine) yielding a total between 0 and 10.

Using a record book of the completion of the treatment program, where the activity carried out will be reflected.

Using a digital pressure algometer at a speed of 1 kg / cm2 / s perpendicular to the skin surface.

The patient will be required to immediately indicate when the sensation of pressure (kg / cm2) becomes a sensation of pain, and thus terminate the compression.
