Brief Summary: The present study represents the pilot phase of the project aimed at developing anatomical site-specific self-assessment questionnaires shoulder knee and ankle that can advise the subject of the need for an orthopaedic specialist examination

The pilot phase of the project involves the collection of data from questionnaires in a population of subjects who have requested an orthopaedic consultation for the anatomical site covered by the questionnaire Each questionnaire consists of questions designed to collect information about the patients subjective condition

The data collected from the questionnaires will be used to evaluate the statistical significance p value of each question in the questionnaire in relation to the outcome of the orthopaedic specialist visit Through a multivariate logistic analysis of the answers given by the subject it will be possible to weight each answer to obtain a final value that gives an indication of an orthopaedic specialist visit
Detailed Description: With the present study an initial exploratory phase is conducted aimed at developing anatomical site-specific self-assessment questionnaires shoulder knee and ankle capable of directing the subject to the need for an orthopedic specialist visit The questionnaire will allow the subject to understand whether his or her symptomatology indicates the presence of a clinical condition requiring orthopedic specialist examination In this way it will be possible to identify patients in need of a specialist visit in a timely manner avoiding chronicity of the painful symptomatology and allowing early diagnosis and potentially faster functional recovery

To this end starting from the analysis of clinically validated 1-10 questionnaires orthopedic specialists afferent to the University of Ferrara the Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute and the Galeazzi Orthopedic Institute collaboratively developed questionnaires with the following characteristics

1 Subjectivity the questions in the questionnaires require an answer that reflects a specific condition of the subject eg ability to carry out daily or sporting activities
2 Specificity the questions in the questionnaires are specific to the anatomical district shoulder knee ankle
3 Simplicity being a questionnaire completed by the subject in complete autonomy the questions are written in simple language and the compilation method is intuitive
4 Reliability the score obtained from completing the questionnaires must be able to distinguish subjects who require further diagnostic tests from subjects who require pharmacological therapy physical therapy or no therapy

The self-assessment forms are provided as an attachment to the clinical protocol

The present study represents the pilot phase of the project aimed at developing self-assessment questionnaires specific to anatomical site shoulder knee and ankle and involves the collection of data from self-assessment forms in a population of subjects who have requested an orthopedic specialist visit for the anatomical site covered by the questionnaire As part of the proposed study the answers provided by the patient will be compared with the outcome of the orthopedic specialist visit

The data collected from the questionnaires will be used to 1 evaluate the statistical significance p value of each question in the questionnaire in relation to the result of the orthopedic specialist visit and 2 assign a score to each response in relation to the outcome of the orthopedic specialist visit

The proposed study will allow us to develop self-assessment questionnaires which based on simple questions can direct the patient towards the need for an orthopedic specialist visit
