TLDR
The KOOS is a valid, reliable and responsive self-administered instrument that can be used for short-term and long-term follow-up of several types of knee injury including osteoarthritis.Abstract:
The Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) was developed as an extension of the WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index with the purpose of evaluating short-term and long-term symptoms and function in subjects with knee injury and osteoarthritis. The KOOS holds five separately scored subscales: Pain, other Symptoms, Function in daily living (ADL), Function in Sport and Recreation (Sport/Rec), and knee-related Quality of Life (QOL). The KOOS has been validated for several orthopaedic interventions such as anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, meniscectomy and total knee replacement. In addition the instrument has been used to evaluate physical therapy, nutritional supplementation and glucosamine supplementation. The effect size is generally largest for the subscale QOL followed by the subscale Pain. The KOOS is a valid, reliable and responsive self-administered instrument that can be used for short-term and long-term follow-up of several types of knee injury including osteoarthritis. The measure is relatively new and further use of the instrument will add knowledge and suggest areas that need to be further explored and improved.read more

TL;DR: Patients undergoing hamstring autograft ACLR, increasing graft diameter can result in improved PROMS, specifically improved KOOS subscale scores at 1 and 2- years post-operative, according to a retrospective review of prospectively collected data.

Postural stability during the transition from double-leg stance to single-leg stance in anterior cruciate ligament reconstructed subjects
TL;DR: Despite the full return to sport, ACLR subjects showed a decreased ability to overcome the postural perturbation created by the transitional movement, which may leave the lower extremity more vulnerable to ACL re-injury and/or other long-term problems after ACLR.
