Detailed description
Knee osteoarthritis is a major public health threat. Chronic pain and incapacity related to knee degenerative arthritis (OA) is current among the older population in several developed countries and also the condition is marked by many pathological characteristics, like joint house narrowing and also the formation of osteophytes, Despite the pressing want for effective hindrance and treatment methods, there's a scarcity of comprehensive demographic knowledge on the general prevalence of the un wellness and also the specific subgroups affected

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| OKS (Oxford Knee Score) to assess Function and Pain in Knee | 12 Weeks | The OKS is a patient-reported outcome measure that is used to assess the severity of a knee problem and the effect of knee conditions on a person's life. The questionnaire has 12 questions about pain, function, and limitations in activities, and it provides doctors insight into how much a patient's knee problems are limiting daily activities. You sum the scores for all 12 questions. The scores ranges from zero to 48, zero meaning worst knee function and 48 meaning best knee function. |
| UCLA Activity Scale for assessing the Physical Activity Level of patients undergoing Knee & Hip Arthoplasty | 12 Weeks | The UCLA Activity Scale (UCLA) is a questionnaire used to assess physical activity levels in patients undergoing hip or knee arthroplasty, ranging from 1 (low) to 10 (high), and is valuable for measuring changes in self-reported physical activity. |
| EQ-5D-5L (EuroQol 5-DIMENSION 5-Level) to measure the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) | 12 Weeks | One popular instrument for evaluating people's health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is the EQ-5D questionnaire. The EQ-5D-5L comprises a VAS in addition to the descriptive system and index score. The VAS asks the responder to rate their general health on a scale of 0 to 100, where 100 is the best possible health and 0 is the worst possible health. |
| NPRS (NUMERIC PAIN RATING SCALE) for Pain | 12 Weeks | A straightforward and widely used instrument for determining the degree of pain is the NPRS (Numeric Pain Rating Scale). the NPRS is used to gauge the degree of either acute or chronic pain. Using a 0-10 scale, the NPRS allows users to rate the intensity of their pain by choosing the number that most accurately represents their current level of discomfort. |
