Dynamic Lycra Garments for Hip Dysplasia Feasibility Study

International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-12)

The International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT) was developed by Mohtadi et al as a means of assessing a patient's ability to return to an active lifestyle through obtaining subjective measures of symptoms, as well as determining emotional and social health status. Results will be reported with the unabbreviated scale title, the minimum, median and maximum values, with higher scores meaning a better outcome. The scale is between 0-100 with 0 meaning a worst score and 100 the highest/best score

Goal Attainment Scale (GAS)

The Goal Attainment Scale (GAS) is a method of scoring the extent to which patient"s individual goals are achieved in the course of intervention, to measure functional improvements that might not be captured by standard assessments. Unlike standardized tests, GAS allows patients to set their own, relevant goals, making it highly specific to their needs. In effect, each patient has their own outcome measure but this is scored in a standardised way as to allow statistical analysis. For each goal, 0 is the baseline score, +2 is the highest score and -2 is the lowest score Results will be reported with the unabbreviated scale title, the minimum, median and maximum values, with higher scores meaning a better outcome.

Isometric hip muscle strength testing

Hand-held dynamometry is a quantitative and accessible means of determining the isometric force of muscle groups. In the current context, objective and standardised measurement will allow for comparisons of condition against population norms and any changes over the duration of study. Results will be reported with the unabbreviated scale title (Newtons), the minimum, median and maximum values, with higher scores meaning a better outcome.

Orthotic and Prosthetic Users Survey (OPUS) Client Satisfaction with Device (CSD)scale module (Qs 1-9)

The Orthotic and Prosthetic Users Survey (OPUS) Client Satisfaction with Device (CSD) module is designed to measure a user's satisfaction with their prosthetic or orthotic device. The 9-item version of the OPUS CSD is focused specifically on assessment of experience of the the device's functional and physical characteristics and is rated on a Likert scale (1-5) where higher score indicates greater satisfaction/agreement):

Orthotic and Prosthetic Users Survey (OPUS) Heath Quality of Life (HRQOL) STATUS

The Orthotics and Prosthetics Users' Survey (OPUS) Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) index is a 23-item, validated self-report instrument designed to assess the quality of life for individuals using orthotic or prosthetic (O\&P) devices. These cover physical, emotional, and social impacts of wearing a prosthetic or orthotic device, such as pain, restrictions in daily activities (hobbies, chores, work), social, and psychological interactions.The HRQOL uses a 5-level Likert scale (0-4) for its items. The raw aggregate score for the 23 items ranges from 0 to 92, with a higher total score indicating a better outcome (better quality of life).

Orthotic and Prosthetic Users Survey (OPUS) Lower Extremity Functional Status (LEFS)

The Orthotic and Prosthetic Users Survey (OPUS) Lower Extremity Functional Status (LEFS) is a patient-administered questionnaire designed to evaluate functional mobility in individuals with lower limb orthoses or prostheses. The survey contains 20 items, each scored on a 5-point ordinal scale ranging from 0 (cannot do) to 4 (no difficulty), for a total raw score of up to 80. It measures the difficulty of daily tasks, with higher scores indicating better functional ability.
