Time frame: one year

Visual analog The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) measures pain intensity. The VAS consists of a 10cm line, with two end points representing 0 ('no pain') and 10 ('pain as bad as it could possibly be')

pain measurement The higher score the worser

Time frame: "through study completion, an average of 1 year".

GONIOMETER

Range of motion(0-140)Goniometry is the art and science of measuring the joint ranges in each plane of the joint.The hihger the movements's degree the better the result of exercise

Time frame: "through study completion, an average of 1 year".

Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS)

The KOOS evaluates both short-term and long-term consequences of knee injury. It holds 42 items in 5 separately scored subscales; Pain, otherSymptoms, Function in dailyliving (ADL), Function in Sport and Recreation (Sport/Rec), and knee-relatedQuality of Life (QOL)KOOS consists of 5 subscales; long-term patient-relevant outcomes following knee injury

Time frame: "through study completion, an average of 1 year".
