What it measures

Current activity level on a numeric scale from 0 (disability pension) to 10 (competitive soccer at national/international level). Captures both work and sports activities.

Reading your score

0 = disability/sick leave, 1-4 = work/light activities, 5-6 = recreational sports, 7-9 = competitive sports, 10 = national/international soccer.

Important. These questionnaires are provided for education and self-tracking. A score is not a diagnosis and does not replace advice from a doctor or physiotherapist. Seek urgent care for a knee that is hot, red and swollen, follows a significant injury, or will not bear weight.
