The use of the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) in rehabilitation outcomes.
The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is a common form of response option in health outcome studies, often used to measure pain, amongst other things, and is generally presented as a single line of 100 mm with anchor words at either end (e.g. no pain – worst possible pain). It was first published in the early 1920's (1, 2) though not widely used at that time (3). There are variations on the VAS theme...
متن کاملEnhancements to the Visual Analogue Scale, VAS, for listening tests
Three methods for perceptual rating of audio stimuli were compared. The Visual Analogue Scale, VAS, was implemented as two computer programs and compared to the VAS on paper. The first program is a straight-forward implementation, the second program introduces the Visual Sort and Rate method, VSR. VSR allows the subject to compare stimuli of similar rating to each other, thus making the orderin...
متن کاملHow Much Should We Trust
Most papers that employ Differences-in-Differences estimation (DD) use many years of data and focus on serially correlated outcomes but ignore that the resulting standard errors are inconsistent. To illustrate the severity of this issue, we randomly generate placebo laws in state-level data on female wages from the Current Population Survey. For each law, we use OLS to compute the DD estimate o...
متن کاملThe Visual Analogue WOMAC 3.0 scale - internal validity and responsiveness of the VAS version
BACKGROUND Many people suffer with Osteoarthritis (OA) and subsequent morbidity. Therefore, measuring outcome associated with OA is important. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) has been a widely used patient reported outcome in OA. However, there is relatively little evidence to support the use of the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) version of the scale. We ...
