Change on SF-36 Physical Functioning Scale by Self-reported Retrospective Rating of Change

Interval Lot Better (n = 21) Little Better (n = 35) Same (n = 252) Little Worse (n = 113) Lot Worse (n = 30)
12 months 4.99a 0.32,b 0.46b −3.86c −4.74c
6 months 4.08a −0.58b,c 0.89b −2.34c −3.47c

Note: Cell entries in the same row that share a letter do not differ significantly (p > 0.05) from one another (Duncan’s multiple range tests). SD of change was 7.74 for 12 months and 7.08 for 6 months.
