Measuring recovery: a new study tests whether a simple scale can accurately track patient progress after joint surgery
NCT ID NCT07330011
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether the Iowa Level of Assistance (ILoA) scale is a reliable tool for measuring functional recovery in patients after joint replacement surgery. Researchers will have multiple physiotherapists assess the same patients to see if their scores agree. The goal is to ensure that this scale gives consistent results, which could help standardize recovery tracking in orthopedic care.
