תקציר	The IKDC Subjective Knee Form is an 18-item patient self-report instrument that measures knee function and symptoms in individuals with various knee conditions. Developed by the International Knee Documentation Committee in 2001 and published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine, it has become the gold standard for assessing knee-specific outcomes across diverse populations, from athletes returning to sport after anterior cruciate ligament injury to patients with osteoarthritis or meniscal pathology.	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.
