MSTS
(Musculoskeletal Tumor Society Functional Rating Scale)
Focus:
The Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) Functional Rating Scale focuses on evaluating the functional outcomes of patients with musculoskeletal tumors, specifically those who have undergone surgery or other treatments for tumors affecting the bones and soft tissues. It is a critical tool in assessing the recovery and functional abilities of patients following tumor excision or reconstructive surgery.
The MSTS is a validated and widely used patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) that quantifies the functional status of individuals who have undergone treatment for musculoskeletal tumors. It helps track recovery progress, guides clinical decisions, and evaluates the effectiveness of various surgical and rehabilitation treatments for musculoskeletal tumors.
Relevant Survey:
- Body Part: Bones, Soft Tissues
- Area Of Focus: Musculoskeletal Tumors, Tumor Excision, Reconstructive Surgery, Functional Recovery
The MSTS is used across orthopedic oncology settings to assess the functional impact of musculoskeletal tumors and to evaluate how treatments have affected the patient’s ability to perform activities of daily living. It is instrumental in post-surgical rehabilitation, guiding both clinical decisions and patient care plans.
Description:
The MSTS Functional Rating Scale is a focused PROM that evaluates how musculoskeletal tumors and their treatments impact key areas of daily life, including mobility, self-care, and recreational activities. It offers detailed insights into a patient’s functional limitations, helping providers assess treatment efficacy and adjust care plans to improve patient outcomes. The MSTS is commonly used both pre- and post-treatment to monitor recovery and long-term outcomes in patients with musculoskeletal tumors.
Use Cases:
- Primary Use: Measures the degree of functional limitation in individuals recovering from musculoskeletal tumor treatment, including surgery and rehabilitation.
- Target Conditions: Musculoskeletal tumors (e.g., bone cancer, soft tissue sarcoma), tumor excision, post-surgical recovery, and reconstructive surgery outcomes.
- Post-Surgery Assessment: Tracks functional recovery and mobility after tumor excision, limb-sparing surgeries, or reconstructive procedures.
- Other Applicable Patients: Patients undergoing conservative treatments, radiation therapy, or rehabilitation after musculoskeletal tumor treatments.
