Lysholm Knee Scale

The Lysholm Knee Scale is a validated clinical tool used to measure how your knee symptoms affect your daily life and physical activity.  Unlike a simple 1–10 pain scale, this assessment dives into the mechanics of your movement, looking at specific factors like stability, locking, swelling, and your ability to climb stairs or squat. 

At Living4Health, we don't just care about how you feel, we also care about how you function.
