Objective[edit | edit source]
First published in 1983 by Noyes et al. The CKRS was created as an outcome measure to assist clinicians with information regarding patients' functional and clinical outcomes after knee surgery. It has undergone several modifications and it is one of the most commonly use instruments used to measure the results of ACL reconstruction.
Intended Population[edit | edit source]
Although originally designed to assess outcomes following ACL reconstructions among athletes, the CKRS is applicable to a variety of knee conditions such as articular cartilage restorative procedures, meniscus repairs or transplants, osteotomies, or patellofemoral procedures among others.
Method of Use[edit | edit source]
The CKRS was majorly used to assess 4 symptoms, that is; pain, swelling, partial giving-way and full giving way, but it has undergone several modifications to include other components that measure range of knee motion, joint effusion, tibiofemoral and patellofemoral crepitus, knee ligament subluxations, compartment narrowing on radiographs, lower limb symmetry during single-leg hop tests, activities of daily living and sports activity levels. Modern modifications of the CKRS incorporate a rating of the patient's perception of the knee condition,
Rating of symptoms[edit | edit source]
The scale for the assessment of symptoms is made up of a six level gradient shown in the image below;
Points are awarded for the highest activity level in which the patient is able to participate without incurring the symptom, with 0 being the least and 10 being the highest.
Evidence[edit | edit source]
The CKRS has met criteria for viability, reliability and responsiveness in several studies and therefore is suitable for use in clinical practise.
