Objective[edit | edit source]
The Roye Score[1] is a 10-item disease-specific instrument to measure outcomes of treatment for clubfoot[2].
Intended Population[edit | edit source]
This scale is intended for use by mothers of children with idiopathic clubfoot[2]. It can be used as an overall measure of clubfoot treatment outcomes with two distinct subscales: function and satisfaction[1].
Method of Use[edit | edit source]
This disease specific instrument consists of 10 items designed to measure treatment outcomes regarding overall satisfaction, appearance, pain, and physical limitations.

Evidence[edit | edit source]
Dietz et al[2] supported the use of the Roye Score as an outcome measure for idiopathic clubfoot in young children by providing evidence of its reliability, validity, and discriminatory power. They also found the Roye score to be sensitive to differences in treatment technique or underlying severity of disease.
