Determination of Importance of Individual Domains in a Clinical Neuropathy Scale Using Reliability Statistics

	All Domains (1)	Sensory Symptoms (2)	Sensory Examination (3)	Motor Symptoms (4)	Motor Examination (5)	Autonomic Symptoms (6)	Reflexes (7)

The values in columns 2–7 indicate the effect on the overall Crohnbach alpha for all domains (column 1). A reduced value in columns 2–7 indicates that if the domain were removed then the overall construct validity in column 1 would be reduced. If the value in columns 2–7 increases compared to the value in column 1, then removing the domain would increase the overall construct validity in column 1. UENS allodynia subscale: 0.73
