1 Before you use it
What it is
Two subscales — a 19-item activities of daily living scale and a 9-item sport scale — built for a younger, more active hip population than HOOS.
When to reach for it
FAI, labral pathology and post-arthroscopy hips, particularly in athletes.
2 Giving it
Scoring
Report the two subscales separately as percentages of the maximum possible, with items marked not applicable excluded. Higher is better.
What it doesn’t measure
Groin-specific demand — use HAGOS. Strength, range or impingement testing.
3 Reading the score
Interpreting it
Interpret against baseline.
The sport subscale is where a young hip actually shows its problem — the ADL scale ceilings quickly in this population.
Is the change real?
Student trap. Reporting only the ADL subscale on an athlete. They'll ceiling it and you'll have measured nothing.
