Joint Self-Assessment Forms for Knee, Ankle and Shoulder

Sponsor: University Hospital of Ferrara

Summary

The present study represents the pilot phase of the project aimed at developing anatomical site-specific self-assessment questionnaires (shoulder, knee and ankle) that can advise the subject of the need for an orthopaedic specialist examination. The pilot phase of the project involves the collection of data from questionnaires in a population of subjects who have requested an orthopaedic consultation for the anatomical site covered by the questionnaire. Each questionnaire consists of questions designed to collect information about the patient's subjective condition. The data collected from the questionnaires will be used to evaluate the statistical significance (p value) of each question in the questionnaire in relation to the outcome of the orthopaedic specialist visit. Through a multivariate logistic analysis of the answers given by the subject, it will be possible to 'weight' each answer to obtain a final value that gives an indication of an orthopaedic specialist visit.
