ABSTRACT

Introduction: Identifying potential factors

influencing the disability in patients with knee
osteoarthritis is paramount for rehabilitation.
Objectives: To determine the factors that contributes
to the symptoms of knee osteoarthritis.
Methods: Knee Injury and Osteoarth
Score questionnaire (KOOS) was used to assess the
physical disability. one hundred and twenty four
patients (age range 50–65 years) were randomized to
therapeutic exercise (n =62) and conventional
group(n = 62).
Results: The results of regression analysis revealed
that age and BMI factors play a role in knee
osteoarthritis.
Conclusion: The present study highlights the various
factors that influence physical disability and thereby
demonstrates to clinical researchers and practitioners
that understanding and improving the quality of
patient’s well-being goes beyond simply treating the
underlying clinical condition.
