  1. ICC, intraclass correlation coefficient; CI, confidence interval; SD: Standard deviation; ADL: Activities of daily living; Sport/Rec: Sports and recreation function; QOL, knee-related quality of life. ICCs < 0.50, 0.50–0.75, 0.75–0.90, and > 0.90 were indicative of poor, moderate, good, and excellent reliability, respectively
