Forgotten Joint Score

A questionnaire assessing joint awareness after joint replacement surgery. Measures how well patients can "forget" their artificial joint during daily activities.

Instructions:

Think about the past week and rate your awareness of your artificial joint during each activity. Use the scale from "Never" to "Mostly". If you did not perform an activity, estimate your awareness based on similar activities.
