Japanese Orthopaedic Association Cervical Myelopathy Evaluation Questionnaire (JOACMEQ)
see Modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association scale (mJOA)
Bladder function and QoL domains of the JOACMEQ appear to demonstrate the strongest postoperative responsiveness and thus may be more appropriate than NDI when attempting to determine treatment efficacy in Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) 1).
