Notes:The order of coding of domain for each LSP-16 item shows increasing
levels of disability with increasing scores. No disability is coded
as 0 whilst the most severe level of disability is coded as 3. This
scoring is consistent with the scoring used by the other clinician-
rated measures. However, the original 39 item version of the LSP
employed the reverse of this convention, with high levels of
disability being coded 0.
