Dear Anuradha Lysholm score is one of the best clinical methods of evaluation of the knee stability (ligaments integrity). To know more about this method you can look at this article: "Rating system in the evaluation of knee ligament injuries. Tegner Yelverton and Jack Lysholm. 1985 198 : 43-49". I hope this helps Abbas Date sent: Fri, 11 Feb 2000 12:06:21 +0300 Subject: Lysholm score From: "Anuradha" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]>, "PHYSIO" <[log in to unmask]> Send reply to: [log in to unmask] > .The following is an extract from abstract of --MOTOR PERFORMANCE IN DYNAMIC TESTS IN KNEE REHABILITATION....

The results demonstrate a significantly reduced Lysholm-Score and a distinct strength deficit, but no neuromuscular inhibition and no differences in knee stability in the operated leg. > Could some one tell me about the Lysholm score?? > Many thanks > Anuradha > @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Abbas Rahimi Centre for Sports Medicine Department of Orthopaedic and Accident Surgery West Block, C Floor, Q.M.C Centre Nottingham NG7 2UH TEL: 0115-9249924 EXT 44170 Fax: 0115-9423656 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
