| The Numeric pain rating scale in which a respondent selects a whole number (0–10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of his/her pain. The common format is a horizontal bar or line. The NPRS takes <1 minute to complete Scores range from 0-10 points, with higher scores indicating greater pain intensity. The NPRS can be administered verbally (therefore also by telephone) or graphically for self-completion. Timepoint: 2nd week. Method of measurement: The Numeric pain rating scale in which a respondent selects a whole number (0–10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of his/her pain. The common format is a horizontal bar or line. The NPRS takes <1 minute to complete Scores range from 0-10 points, with higher scores indicating greater pain intensity.;The Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) is a valid patient-rated outcome measure (PROM) used to assess lower extremity function. It was initially developed by Binkley et al. (1999) for patients with various musculoskeletal conditions. Timepoint: 2nd week. Method of measurement: This self-report questionnaire asks patients about their ability to perform twenty everyday activities, with five response options ranging from “Extreme Difficulty or Unable to Perform Activity” to “No Difficulty.” Patients’ scores are totaled, with a maximum score of 80 points indicating high function and a minimum score of 0 points indicating low function.;The term 'goniometry' is derived from the Greek words 'gonia' meaning angle and 'metron' meaning measure, therefore goniometry refers to the measurement of angles, which in rehabilitation settings refers to the measurement of angles in each plane at the joints of the body. T. Timepoint: 2nd week. Method of measurement: he neutral zero method (0 to 180- degree system) is the most widely used method. The range of motion of each joint should be measured in isolation, to avoid trick movement (simultaneous movement of another joint) and muscle insufficiency which may alter the reading. | — |
