There are 10 items in the OSW, each rated on a Likert scale from 0-5. The total range of possible scores is from 0 -50, which is converted to a percentage ranging from 0-100. The percentage of self-reported disability ranges from 0='no impairment' to 100='complete impairment'. Our statistical analysis looked at the change in OSW score (in percentage points) fro
