Which tool should be used for review of systems at the knee?

• A. SF-36
• B. OSPRO
• C. PROMIS
• D. Functional Movement Screen

Answer: (B)

The OSPRO (Outcome Assessment Instrument for Patients with Knee Conditions) is specifically designed to evaluate the patient's experience regarding their knee condition. It focuses on capturing the impact of knee-related issues on a patient’s daily life and function. The tool gathers information on various aspects of knee health, including pain, function, and overall impact on quality of life. Thus, it is tailored to provide relevant insights during a review of systems specifically related to knee conditions. In contrast, while the SF-36 is a general health survey assessing multiple dimensions of health-related quality of life, it does not specifically target knee-related issues. PROMIS is also a broad tool focusing on patient-reported outcomes across various conditions, making it less specific for knee assessments. The Functional Movement Screen evaluates movement patterns and potential injury risk rather than providing a direct assessment of knee-specific symptoms and conditions. Therefore, the OSPRO stands out as the most appropriate choice for a review of systems specifically focused on knee health.
