Recommendations for use based on acuity level of the patient
Jónasson et al (2014)
The iHOT12-S can also be utilised for older patients (i.e. 60–75 years) and for patients with other hip disorders although further studies on these patient groups are needed to verify this belief.
Mohtadi (2012)
Valid for patients with labral tears and in hip arthroscopy patients, but only with respect to physical function.
The appropriate population for this tool includes patients aged between 18 and 60 years who have a Tegner activity level of 4 or higher, meaning that they are engaged in recreational physical activities at least once a week or have an occupation involving moderately heavy labor.
Recommendations based on level of care in which the assessment is taken:
Mohtadi (2012)
The purpose of the described outcome tool is to evaluate patients so that they can be followed up over time and the success of various treatments can be assessed.
Griffin (2012)
Griffin et al suggested that the iHOT-33 be used in prospective clinical studies due to its length, while the iHOT-12 can be used in routine clinical practice. The iHOT-12 is 1/3 the length and can provide easier and more efficient administration for patients.
Jónasson et al (2014)
The iHOT12-S is a valid, reliable and responsive HR-PRO, for patients with femoro-acetabular impingement, undergoing hip arthroscopy. “The iHOT12-S showed good reliability, validity and responsiveness and can be safely used both for research and clinically at group level and, to a certain degree, at individual level, in active patients with femoro-acetabular impingement.”
Kemp (2013)
Due to the composite nature of the measure, it may be difficult to use in research since there aren’t separate subscales. The IHOT-33, however appears to be a strong outcome measure to use in patients 12-24 months post hip arthroscopic surgery for intra-articular lesions including labral lesions, femoral acetabular impingement (FAI) and chondropathy.
Mohtadi (2012)
In our opinion the iHOT-33 can be used as a primary outcome measure for prospective patient evaluation and randomized clinical trials. |

Further studies needed to address differences in construct and predictive validity of YBT and modified SEBT. 2. Establish the responsiveness of the YBT, including minimal detectable change, minimally clinical important difference, and population specific cut off points.
Healthy Adults (Fullman et al, 2014; n = 29 healthy adults 19-25 years of age; Healthy Adults)
- The study showed significant reach differences in the anterior reach direction between the YBT and SEBT and claims that clinicians should not use these tests interchangeably.

- Most appropriate for outpatient setting
- Widest use in EDSS range of 0 – 5.5. May be useful with higher EDSS scores through sub-maximal testing with an appropriate ergometry device
- From Kluding’s review of VO2max in the Stroke EDGE Summary: “Maximal tests are not recommended for clinical practice because of limited feasibility: tests require extensive knowledge of exercise physiology, ECG interpretation, ability to respond to cardiac complications, expensive equipment, and physician supervision. However, referral to cardiac rehab settings for these tests is appropriate before initiating a moderate/vigorous aerobic training program.”
- The terms VO2max and VO2peak are often used interchangeably, however, they are distinct. True VO2max is measured less often than VO2peak. Researchers and readers of the literature must be careful to correctly apply and interpret these terms
