CLINICAL INSIGHT

When to Use

Evaluating young to middle-aged physically active patients with hip and groin pain.
Assessing FAI (Femoroacetabular Impingement), labral tears, or adductor-related groin pain.
Providing high-sensitivity functional profiling for sports medicine research.

Clinical Objective

Unlike the HOOS (Knee/Hip OA), HAGOS is designed specifically for active populations and includes subscales like "Physical Activity" and "Groin Pain Symptoms."

CLINICAL INSIGHT

How it Works

The 6 Subscales

1. Symptoms (7 items)
2. Pain (10 items)
3. ADL (5 items)
4. Sport & Recreation (8 items)
5. Physical Activity (2 items)
6. Quality of Life (5 items)

Score 0

Clinical Pearls

HAGOS is the most sensitive PROMs tool for adductor-related groin pain.
The "Physical Activity" subscale (2 items) is an excellent quick screen for loading capacity.
MCID: Typically ranges from 10 to 15 points depending on the subscale.

Next Steps

Management Decisions

Low Sport/Rec Score: Evaluate for labral mechanical symptoms (clicking/locking) or inguinal canal pathology.
Low Symptoms Score: Prioritize adductor strengthening (Copenhagen Plank) and hip mobility.
Baseline: Use as the primary KPI for rehabilitation progression in groin injuries.
