knee pain, knee osteoarthritis
KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS
This study included women between 45 and 60 years of age who had knee pain and were diagnosed with grade II unilateral knee OA. The decision was made to exclusively enroll female patients in this study because the incidence of knee osteoarthritis is higher in women than in men. Additionally, this approach was taken to address the potential impact of sex-related differences in critical factors such as muscle strength and mass.
