Neck Disability Index (NDI) Score
[NDI percentage score] % (Only include if explicitly mentioned in transcript, context or clinical note, else omit section entirely. Write as a single line.)
(Neck Disability Index (NDI) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) questionnaires are to be completed by claimants. Calculation of NDI scoring is completed by medical practitioners — there are 10 individual sections each with a maximum score of 5. Each section has 6 statements. A single most appropriate statement of the 6 options is chosen for each section. The options are scored in ascending order from 0–5. Example: 16 = total scored for all sections of a possible 50 — 16/50 x 100 = NDI 32%. If a section is missed or not applicable, the score is calculated on the basis of sections answered e.g. 16/45 x 100 = NDI 35.5%.)
