LSO’s Research and Outcomes Centre

At LSO, we take our patients’ outcomes very seriously. This is why we have partnered up with a team from University College London, and we are now part of a fully-funded research project that allows us to perform detailed pre- and post-op functional assessments for those of our patients specifically with knee problems. This gives us the ability to gather comprehensive objective data on our patients’ function, which helps us judge how well each individual patient is doing and how they might be doing compared to equivalent patients from the collected data-set. It also provides data that we are able to feedback to each patient’s physio, to help guide each patient’s rehab, tailored to their individual needs.
