Description
Summary:Objective: To evaluate the metric properties of the Oxford Knee Score applied in people with osteoarthritis after knee arthroplasty. Method: Systematic review of the literature. The EBSCOhost platform was used to access the MEDLINE and LILACS database and the SCiELO platform. The descriptors were validated on the DeCS and MESH platforms, except for "Oxford Knee Score" and "responsiveness". We selected articles published in the last five years, available in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Results: There were eight articles that revealed that OKS is a valid, reliable and reproducible instrument. Responsiveness was the least studied metric property. Conclusion: The Oxford Knee Scale is adequate to evaluate the functionality and the impact of pain in people with Osteoarthritis after knee arthroplasty.
