This study perform to investigate the relationship between quadriceps femoris (QF) strength, QF thickness, femoral cartilage thickness, knee function, balance, kinesiophobia and gait of the patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common chronic degenerative diseases in the world, which progresses slowly, can cause pain, stiffness and dysfunction, and reduces the quality of life.
OA is particularly common in weight-bearing joints such as the knee and the functional status of patients with OA is adversely affected various factors such as immobility due to pain, decrease in muscle strength and joint range of motion, etc.
In relation to this, walking difficulty and decrease in walking speed, balance problems and an increase in the risk of falling are a picture that can be encountered in the later stages of the disease.
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between QF strength, QF thickness, femoral cartilage thickness, knee function, balance, kinesiophobia and gait of the patients with knee OA.
Volunteer patients who applied to the Physical therapy and Rehabilitation department with knee pain
Exclusion Criteria:
QF muscle thickness
QF muscle thickness

QF muscle strength
Time frame: Day 1

Femoral cartilage thickness
Time frame: Day 1
Knee function
Knee function assessment with The Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS). It is a 42-item questionnaire, including 5 subscales: symptoms, pain, ADLs, sports/recreation, and quality of life. The maximum score a patient can achieve is 100, indicating no knee problems. The minimum score is zero, indicating severe knee problems.
Time frame: Day 1
Kellgreen-Lawrence Radiological Stages
Kellgreen-Lawrence Radiological Stages: Grade 1 (doubtful): doubtful joint space narrowing and possible osteophytic lipping. grade 2 (minimal): definite osteophytes and possible joint space narrowing. grade 3 (moderate): moderate multiple osteophytes, definite narrowing of joint space and some sclerosis and possible deformity of bone ends.
Time frame: Day 1
Kinesiophobia
Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale: The total score of the scale range from 17- 68, where 17 means no kinesiophobia, 68 means severe kinesiophobia, and score ± 37 indicates there is kinesiophobia.
Time frame: Day 1
Balance and gait
Tinetti Score: It uses a 3-point ordinal scale of 0, 1 and 2. Gait is scored over 12 and balance is scored over 16 totalling 28. The lower the score on the Tinetti test, the higher the risk of falling.
Time frame: Day 1
Low Extremity Functionality and Fall Risk
30 sec sit to stand test
Time frame: Day 1
