Objective[edit | edit source]
The Oxford Knee Score (OKS) was developed in 1998 and validated to measure pain and function after total knee replacement[1].
Intended Population[edit | edit source]
The OKS was originally developed and validated for use with individuals undergoing knee arthroplasty but has also been used to measure outcomes in pharmacological treatments, after osteotomies, following rehabilitation or with fractures[2].
Method of Use[edit | edit source]
The OKS is a patient reported outcome measure that consists of 12 questions on activities of daily living and how they are affected by pain.
Questions[edit | edit source]
| Questions | Scoring |
|---|---|

| 2. Have you had any trouble with washing and drying yourself (all over) because of your knee? | |
| 3. Have you had any trouble getting in and out of a car or using public transport because of your knee? (whichever you tend to use) | |
| 4. For how long have you been able to walk before the pain from your knee becomes severe (with or without a stick) | |
| 5. After a meal (sat at a table), how painful has it been for you to stand up from a chair because of your knee? | |
| 6. Have you been limping when walking, because of your knee? | |
| 7. Could you kneel down and get up again afterwards? | |

Scoring[edit | edit source]
When the OKS was originally developed, it was designed to be as simple as possible in order to promote use. The original scoring system was a 1-5 where one represented the best outcome[3]. However, clinicians found this confusing in practice and adaptations began to appear so the original authors developed a new scoring system from 0-4 where four is the best outcome and total scores range from 0 (worst outcome) to 48 (best outcome)[3].
If there are more than two missing answers, it is recommended that the overall score should not be calculated. In the event one or two questions are unanswered, it is recommended that clinicians put in a mean answer from the patient's other answer, If a question has more than one answer, the worst response i.e. smallest number is used for calculations[3].
Equipment[edit | edit source]
