Lysholm Score and Tegner Activity Level in Individuals with Normal Knees

Abstract

These data acquired from a normal, healthy population provide a standard point of reference for the injured or postsurgical knee. These data also serve as ideal tools when counseling patients about realistic expectations after surgery, based on age and gender.

Influence of morbid obesity on physical capacity, knee-related symptoms and overall quality of life: A cross-sectional study

“…30 The mean Lysholm score observed in this study was also considerably lower than that found in healthy individuals by Briggs et al (55.3±25.4 versus 94±16.4). 33 This finding reinforces the impairment of knee function among our obese population. The Lysholm scale is a freely available measure that allows detection of changes following nonsurgical and surgical interventions.…”

Análise do protocolo funcional de Lysholm modificado em pacientes com joelhos normais

“…Previous pain in the knee was the main cause of these findings, since it is the main complaint of the population in general (21) . Briggs et al (22) conclude that even a high level athlete might not achieve the score of excellent, an opinion corroborated by us.…”

In Situ Pinning With Arthroscopic Osteoplasty for Mild SCFE: A Preliminary Technical Report

“…Tegner and Lysholm scores averaged 5.2 with nine subjects scoring 4 or less. This compares to an average score of 6.5 for similarly-aged asymptomatic volunteers [4]. Another series [10] of 49 hips treated with in situ pinning alone with an average followup More importantly we believe, there is growing evidence that shows substantial articular damage after mild SCFE.…”
