DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTRUMENT
Type Of Measure Scale, Questionnaire
Brief Description

HOOS is developed as an instrument to assess the patients’ opinion about their hip and associated problems and is intended to be used for hip disability with or without osteoarthritis (OA). HOOS is validated in two slightly different versions LK 1.1 and LK 2.0. The LK 2.0 version is available on line at www.koos.nu. The HOOS has five dimensions: pain, other symptoms, function in activities of daily living (ADL), function in sport and recreation (Sport/Rec), and hip-related quality of life (QOL).

In 2008, a 5-item measure of physical function, the HOOS-PS, was published derived from the HOOS questionnaire by item-response theory to elicit patients’ opinions about difficulties experienced due to hip problems.

Number of Items 40 grouped in 5 scales
Range 0-100 for each subscale (normalized scores); a total score is not recommended
Responses options/scale Yes
All items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale (0–4)
Developed for Clinical practice, Research
PRACTICAL APPLICATION
Method of administration Self-administered
Recommendations to score

Each subscale score is calculated independently. The mean score of the individual items of each subscale is calculated and divided by 4. The final score of each subscale is then normalized (0-100). A total score is not recommended.

Scoring sheets (manual and computer spreadsheets) are provided on the web site

Score Interpretation 0 indicates extreme problems and 100 indicates no problems
