OHS
(Oxford Hip Score)
Focus:
The Oxford Hip Score (OHS) primarily focuses on assessing hip pain and function in patients with Hip Osteoarthritis or those undergoing total Hip Replacement Surgery. It evaluates daily mobility challenges, pain intensity, and treatment impact.
The Oxford Hip Score is a short, validated patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) used to evaluate hip-related quality of life. It is commonly used pre- and post-operatively to measure recovery progress, functional improvement, and the effectiveness of surgical or non-surgical interventions.
Relevant Survey:
- Body Part: Hip Joint
- Area Of Focus: Hip Osteoarthritis & Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA)
The OHS is widely used in orthopedic practices, especially in joint replacement programs, to quantify improvements in pain, stiffness, and movement. It supports clinical decision-making and helps device innovators assess real-world treatment outcomes.
Description:
The OHS is a practical, patient-completed survey designed to measure pain levels and functional limitations related to hip joint issues. It offers healthcare providers and researchers a standardized way to evaluate treatment outcomes, track post-operative recovery, and make more informed care decisions. With its easy-to-administer format and high sensitivity to change, Oxford Hip Score helps drive value-based orthopedic care by aligning patient experience with measurable improvement.
Use Cases:
- Primary Use: Tracks pain and function before and after hip replacement surgery.
- Target Conditions: Hip osteoarthritis, joint degeneration, and limited mobility.
- Post-Surgery Assessment: Measures the impact of total hip arthroplasty on daily activities and pain relief.
- Other Applicable Patients: Patients with chronic hip issues or undergoing conservative treatment such as physical therapy.
Number Of Questions: 3
