Never used it but a quick search turned up this article, which is in German.Don't know if this is the exact scale you are looking for but it seems to be related to what you may be looking for.

[Hannover Functional Questionnaire in ambulatory diagnosis of functional disability caused by backache]
[Article in German]
Kohlmann T, Raspe H.
Institut fur Sozialmedizin der Medizinischen Universitat Lubeck.
This paper describes conceptual and clinimetric aspects as well as fields of application of the Hannover Functional Ability Questionnaire for measuring back pain-related disability (FFbH-R). The FFbH-R belongs to a series of short self-administered questionnaires for the assessment of functional limitations in activities of daily living among patients with musculoskeletal disorders. In addition to the FFbH-R, a specific version is available for patients with polyarticular diseases (the FFbH-P), as well as a combined version of both questionnaires. A new questionnaire for patients with osteoarthritis is currently being developed. Data from various studies indicate that the FFbH-R meets the relevant psychometric criteria of acceptability, reliability, validity, and sensitivity to change. It has been successfully applied in (observational and controlled) clinical studies, in epidemiologic surveys, and in compensation disability evaluation.

Thanks for the reference. Does anyone know a good scale to measure how back pain impacts ADL function, or percieved disability in general? I'm looking for one that is easily administered to patient's in order to document outcomes.

How about the Modified Oswestry which is probably the easiest and the most commonly utilized outcome measure for Low Back Pain?

Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire and the Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale. Phys Ther. 2001;81:776-788.

Thank you Alex, that is a good reference for back pain. Would you use this for people with extremity pain as well?

Rick,
The Oswestry is specific for low back pain only. Download this pdf which shows what some of the more common orthopaedic outcome measures are, how they are scored, and how to interpret the results.

We have started using the SPADI for our shoulders. I just need to remember to give to everyone on the initial visit and a month later.
