What is International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-33)

The International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-33) is a targeted survey for young, active adults with hip pain. It tracks quality of life changes well. This tool features 33 questions looking at how hip trouble affects daily living. It suits patients wanting to return to high activity levels rather than just walking. It covers four main areas including symptoms, sports activities, job concerns and social emotions. Patients answer using a visual slider scale from zero to one hundred, where higher scores mean better function. This helps capture small changes in health status. Clinicians use this form to check progress before and after surgery like arthroscopy. It is easy to fill out and gives doctors a clear picture of recovery. Focusing on active people avoids the ceiling effects seen in older tests. It helps guide treatment plans for better long-term results.

iHOT-33 Scoring

The International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-33) is scored using a single visual analogue scale approach. Patients place a mark on a 100 mm line for 33 items covering symptoms, sports, work, and emotions. You measure from the left anchor to the mark to get a value between 0 and 100 for every question. To finish up, calculate the mean of all responses to get a total score out of 100. Higher numbers show better hip health and quality of life, while lower scores point to more issues. This helps physios and doctors track recovery in active young adults.
