Abstract

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are key tools when performing clinical research, but they must possess particular properties before they are used; moreover during the early stage of study design, attention should be directed to choosing the appropriate outcomes and scales that evaluate a patient population. Thus the purpose of this chapter is to give an overview of commonly used PROMs in sport medicine research and to describe their main features, their properties, and mostly appropriate clinical conditions.
