Outcome measures In order to gather information on the baseline status and effectiveness of the rehabilitation process, each patient is evaluated in several ways. Objective measures for range of movement, strength and stability, and questionnaires related to an individual’s experience of pain and health-related quality of life (if appropriate) are utilized. In addition, soreness and swelling are evaluated. The maximal isometric strength of knee and hip can be evaluated by the HUR Performance Recorder for the assessment of side-to-side differences and to document changes in strength after the intervention. The Performance Recorder can be directly connected to all HUR exercise machines equipped with the isometric testing sensor attachment. 67
