Are there gender-related differences in the psychometric properties of the Oswestry Disability Index?
CONCLUSIONS: The ODI appears to be a similarly unidimensional and internally consistent questionnaire in both genders without any substantial variability in the items' difficulty and discrimination.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: The ODI produces psychometrically similar results in both genders. Small and clinically hardly significant gender-related differences in the properties of ODI can be neglected.
