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: In this article, the authors identify the percentage of high school and collegiate American football players who successfully returned to play at their previous level of competition, investigate self-reported performance for those players able to return to play or reason(s) for not returning to play, and elucidate risk factors responsible for players not being able or not returning at the same level of performance.

Knee joint kinematics, kinetics and muscle co-contraction in knee osteoarthritis patient gait
TL;DR: Kinematic alterations in knee osteoarthritis patient gait occur without alteration in knee joint moments, which suggest that adduction moments are lowered to reduce the patients' pain and symptoms.

Patient dissatisfaction following total knee replacement: a growing concern?
TL;DR: A national, multi-centre study was designed in which a questionnaire quantifying the degree of patient satisfaction and residual symptoms in patients following total knee replacement was administered by an independent, blinded third party survey centre, showing a degree of dissatisfaction.

TL;DR: In this paper, the predictors of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) outcome at 6 years as measured by validated patient-based outcome instruments are unknown, however, certain variables evaluated at the time of ACLR will predict return to sports function (as measured by the International Knee Documentation Committee [IKDC] questionnaire and the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score [KOOS] Sports and Recreation subscale), knee-related quality of life (Knee Related Quality of Life subscale) and activity level (Marx Activity Scale).
