Olerud-Molander Ankle Score

The Olerud-Molander Ankle Score is a medical tool used to assess a person's ankle function after an injury or surgery. It considers factors like pain level, difficulty walking or standing, and the ability to perform daily activities. Patients typically answer questions about their ankle health, which helps doctors evaluate how well the ankle has healed and whether further treatment is needed. The score provides a standardized way to measure recovery progress and guide clinical decisions, ensuring a clear understanding of the patient's functional status.
