Σύνοψη	The Global Rating of Change (GRC) Scale is a single-item, self-report outcome measure that asks patients to rate the overall change in their condition since baseline assessment. Developed by Jaeschke, Singer, and Guyatt in 1989 and published in Controlled Clinical Trials, the GRC Scale has become a fundamental method for anchor-based interpretation of change scores on clinical outcome measures, enabling clinicians and researchers to determine the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in standardized scales.	The Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) is a 20-item patient self-report instrument designed to assess functional limitations in individuals with lower extremity musculoskeletal disorders. Developed by Binkley, Stratford, Lott, and Riddle in 1999 and published in Physical Therapy, the LEFS provides a validated, general lower-extremity outcome measure applicable across diverse pathologies (knee, ankle, hip, foot injuries and conditions), making it particularly valuable in physical therapy and rehabilitation settings.
