The Activities of Daily Living Scale (ADLS) subscale of the Knee Outcome Survey evaluates symptoms and functional limitations during daily activities. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better function.

The Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center (OSTRC) Overuse Injury Questionnaire is a validated self-report instrument used to monitor the severity and impact of overuse-related musculoskeletal problems. It evaluates the consequences of knee-related problems on sports participation, training volume, sports performance, and symptom severity. Responses to the four key questions are converted into a severity score ranging from 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate greater symptom severity and functional impairment.

The Sports Activity Scale (SAS) of the Knee Outcome Survey assesses knee symptoms and functional limitations during sports and higher-level activities. The scale ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better sports-related knee function.
