Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Functional limitation and joint stiffness reduction, measured by the IKDC questionnaire, at 6 month | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Functional limitation and joint stiffness are measured using the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) questionnaire at baseline and 6 months in Population B 2. Pain is measured using a visual analog scale (VAS) at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months in both populations 3. Functional limitation is measured using the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) questionnaire at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months in both populations 4. Quality of life is measured using the 12-item Short Form Health Survey – Physical Component Summary (SF-12 PCS) score at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months in both populations | — |
