Description

The Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score – Physical Function Short Form (HOOS-PS-5) is an assessment tool that measures the physical function of individuals with hip disability or osteoarthritis. It includes questions related to daily activities and the individual’s ability to perform physical tasks without pain or limitations.

Data Analysis and Use

Data analysis from HOOS-PS-5 includes:
Scoring: Participants rate their ability to perform activities on a Likert scale. Higher scores indicate better physical function.
Statistical Analysis:
Descriptive Statistics: Mean and standard deviation are used to assess overall physical function.
Correlation: Examination of the relationship between scores and parameters such as age or severity of disability.
Comparative Analysis: Comparison of scores between different patient groups to reveal differences in physical function.

Objective

The objective of HOOS-PS-5 is to assess the physical function of individuals with hip disability or osteoarthritis and to provide information for developing therapeutic interventions and monitoring progress.

Calibration

Calibration of HOOS-PS-5 includes:
Cross-Cultural Studies: Testing the tool in different populations to ensure appropriateness and accuracy.
Reliability Analysis: Using Cronbach’s alpha to ensure the consistency of the questions.
Validity Testing: Checking the tool’s ability to accurately measure physical function as perceived by participants.
