The current study was performed to determine the interobserver reliability of five different hip scores on patients with coxarthrosis. Design: Test reliability among physical therapists for five commonly used hip scores. Subjects: Thirty-five patients ( 48 hips) who had coxarthrosis and who were candidates for total hip arthroplasty were included in the study. Methods: Patients were evaluated preoperatively by three physical therapists using five different hip rating systems; the Harris Hip Score, the Iowa Hip Score, the Charnley Hip Score, the Merle d'Aubigne Hip Score and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons' Hip Score. Results: The average age of the patients was 58.8 +/- 2.2 years ( range 28 - 76 years). For all scores, an excellent interobserver reliability between the physical therapists were found (kappa = 0.77 - 0.95). Langue : ANGLAIS |
