Limb-Q Kids
“A new patient-reported health-related quality of life questionnaire that is specific to children and adolescents with lower limb differences.”
International Collaboration
Our research and clinical team has worked with experts in quality of life, surgeons and other healthcare professionals from Australia, Canada, Ethiopia, India, UK and the USA to develop a new questionnaire called LIMB-Q Kids.
Patient Input
To develop this new questionnaire, we interviewed patients and parents from around the world to understand what is important to patients with lower limb deformities.
Achievement
This questionnaire can be used globally to help doctors, nurses, other clinical staff, and researchers understand how having a deformity of the leg impacts a child’s life overall. This information will help doctors and researchers find out which treatments are better for children with leg problems.
