Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Pain intensity
Pain intensity will be measured by visual analog scale (VAS. ). It is line with worst pain at one end and no pain at the other end
up to three monthes
knee disability
knee disablity will be measured by The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index. The WOMAC is a self-administered instrument containing 24 items measuring 3 subscales: physical function (17 items), pain (5 items), and stiffness (2 items).Scores range from 0 to 96 for the total WOMAC where 0 represents the best health status and 96 the worst possible status.
up to three months
