Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement (KOOS, JR.) Score
KOOS, JR. is a 7-item assessment of how participants feel about their knee and how well they are able to do usual activities. Each item is rated on a Likert scale; the raw score is the sum of item responses. The raw score is transformed into a total score ranging from 0-100, where 0 indicates total knee disability and 100 represents perfect knee health.
Time frame: Month 3 Post-Operation (Approximately Week 8-9)
