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.

Time frame: up to three months

Secondary Outcomes

knee range of motion

knee joint rang of motion will be measured by goniometer

Time frame: up to three months
