Standard Questions (Compulsory)
Every survey in Tesa Cloud automatically includes 3 compulsory standard questions from the Tesa Medical Standard Survey. These questions:- Are automatically inserted at the beginning of every new survey (imported, duplicated, or built from scratch)
- Cannot be edited or deleted — they appear with a lock icon and “Standard Question” badge in the editor
- Are used to calculate the recovery journey score shown on the patient’s recovery chart
- Are normalised to a 0-100 scale for consistent scoring across all patients
The 3 Standard Questions
| # | Question | Response Type | Scoring |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Rate how normal your knee feels, where 100 is completely normal and 0 is the worst possible. | Slider (0-100) | Direct value |
| 2 | Have you returned to your prior level of activity? | Multiple Choice | Yes = 100, No = 0 |
| 3 | Have you injured the same or other knee? | Multiple Choice | Yes = 0, No = 100 |
Only the 3 standard questions contribute to the recovery journey score. Any additional questions you add are visible to patients and recorded, but do not affect the recovery score calculation.
