1 Before you use it
What it is
Metadata only. Thirty-six items across eight domains — physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, mental health — plus physical and mental component summaries.
When to reach for it
When you encounter it in the literature or a service's existing dataset. It has no routine role in a five-week MSK placement.

Scoring
Eight domains, each 0–100, plus two component summaries. Higher is better. Scoring requires the published algorithm.
What it doesn’t measure
Anything region-specific or responsive to a musculoskeletal intervention.

Interpreting it
Is the change real?
Student trap. Adding it to a caseload assessment 'for completeness'. Ten minutes of patient time for something that won't move with your treatment.
