Conclusion
This chapter has provided a detailed summary of a selected group of PROMs for
knee, hip, and hand OA. Clinicians should carefully consider the known character-
istics of each PROM, in the context of the patient’s characteristics, when selecting
the ideal PROM for specifi c patients. While further research is needed to establish
the measurement properties of PROMs for OA, and develop additional PROMs to
address gaps in available tools, clinicians can use the information provided to guide
selection of appropriate tools for clinical management of patients with OA.
