Based on repeated-measures analysis of variance.
T scores are normed such that a score of 50 represents the mean or average for the reference population and 1 standard deviation = 10 t-score points. For Pain Interference, a higher score means worse symptomatology (possible range = 42–76). For Physical Function (range = 23–57) and Social Participation (range = 29–64), lower scores represent worse functioning.
