Description: The HOOS Jr. is a shortened version of the HOOS, designed to evaluate the symptoms, function, and hip-related quality of life in patients with hip osteoarthritis and other hip disorders. It is intended to be a quicker and easier tool for both patients and clinicians while maintaining the comprehensiveness of the full HOOS.
Conditions Measured:
Number of Items: 6 items
Estimated Time to Complete: 2-3 minutes
Scoring Method: The HOOS Jr. consists of 6 items covering pain, function, and hip-related quality of life. Each item is scored on a scale from 0 to 4, with the scores transformed to a 0-100 scale, where higher scores indicate better hip function and fewer symptoms.
Reliability: The HOOS Jr. has demonstrated high test-retest reliability and internal consistency across different patient populations.
Validity: Numerous studies have validated the HOOS Jr., showing strong construct validity, responsiveness, and sensitivity to changes in hip conditions.
