MEPS
(Mayo Elbow performance Score)
Focus:
The Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS) is designed to evaluate the functional performance and pain associated with elbow conditions. It assesses how the patient’s elbow function affects their ability to perform everyday activities, making it a valuable tool for both pre-treatment evaluation and post-surgical recovery.
The MEPS is a widely used, validated patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) that evaluates elbow function, pain, and range of motion. It plays a crucial role in tracking recovery progress, assessing surgical outcomes, and determining the effectiveness of elbow treatments.
Relevant Survey:
- Body Part: Elbow
- Area Of Focus: Elbow Pain, Elbow Joint Function, Post-Elbow Surgery Recovery
The MEPS is used across orthopedic and physical therapy settings to evaluate elbow function and monitor the progress of rehabilitation. It provides essential insights into a patient’s disability and recovery, supporting clinical decisions and improving the quality of care.
Description:
The Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS) evaluates the severity of elbow conditions by measuring pain, range of motion, strength, and functional limitations. It is commonly used to assess both pre- and post-treatment conditions, including post-surgical recovery. MEPS offers insights into a patient’s disability, functional limitations, and progress, helping to guide treatment decisions and monitor outcomes over time.
Use Cases:
- Primary Use: Evaluates elbow pain, strength, range of motion, and functional disability.
- Target Conditions: Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), arthritis, fractures, and post-surgical recovery
- Post-Surgery Assessment: Assesses recovery following elbow surgeries like joint replacement, ligament repair, or fracture fixation.
- Other Applicable Patients: Those undergoing physical therapy or conservative treatment for elbow conditions.
Number Of Questions: 4
