Harris Hip Score

The Harris Hip Score is a tool used to assess the function and pain levels of people with hip problems, such as arthritis or after hip surgery. It combines two main components: pain levels and the ability to perform various activities, like walking or climbing stairs. The score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better hip function and less pain. Medical professionals use this score to track a patient's progress over time and to guide treatment decisions, allowing for a clearer understanding of how well the hip is functioning in everyday life.
