Description
Summary:An abstract of a study by Burton et al determining if the International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Form (IKDC-SF), a patient reported outcome, could predict limb asymmetries in clinician reported outcomes of lower limb strength, dynamic balance, and function is presented. The Receiver Operating Curve analysis produced poor ability (Area Under Curve, AUC, < 0.70) to predict asymmetries in all of the clinician reported outcome measures with the exception of the Posterolateral reach direction (AUC = 0.78). For this measure the IKDC-SF demonstrated a sensitivity of 0.75 and specificity of 0.51 to detect a limb symmetry index difference greater than 4 cm.
