Here’s how to interpret your results:
- Score 0 to 19: Severe Knee Problems
This score suggests that you may be experiencing severe knee issues. You are likely dealing with significant pain and difficulty performing daily tasks, which can greatly impact your quality of life. Activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or even routine movements may be very challenging. - Score 20 to 29: Moderate to Severe Knee Issues
A score in this range indicates moderate to severe knee problems. You may feel substantial pain during activities that put stress on your knee, such as walking long distances, standing for extended periods, or climbing stairs. While you might manage some tasks, discomfort is likely a frequent issue. - Score 30 to 39: Mild to Moderate Knee Difficulties
This score reflects mild to moderate knee problems. While you may experience some pain or limitations, you’re generally able to carry out most of your daily activities. However, certain tasks may still cause discomfort or require adjustments. - Score 40 to 48: Mild or Minimal Knee Problems
A score in this range suggests that your knee is functioning well, with either mild problems or almost normal performance. Scores closer to 48 indicate very good knee health, allowing you to engage in most activities with minimal discomfort or limitations. - Important Considerations
Your Oxford Knee Score provides a helpful perspective on your knee health, but its interpretation can vary depending on factors such as your overall health, age, and specific knee condition. It serves as a tool for tracking your progress, understanding your current status, and informing decisions about treatment or surgery. - NEXT STEPS
To discuss your results and explore tailored treatment options, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional or orthopaedic surgeon. They will consider your score alongside other important health factors to provide personalised advice.
To book a consultation with Dr Liddell, obtain a referral from your GP and schedule an appointment. Dr Liddell can help you understand your condition and recommend the most appropriate next steps for your knee health.
