Study Overview
Brief Summary
Obesity and Osteoarthritis of knee joint can lead to decrease in Lower extremity function and Balance. Obesity is also a leading factor for Osteoarthritis of knee Joint leading to decline in Lower extremity function and Balance. Understanding this association can provide valuable insights into the management and intervention strategies for improving mobility and stability in elderly individuals with knee osteoarthritis who are also obese and living in community settings. This study is aimed to find out association between lower extremity function and balance in obese elderly with Osteoarthritis of knee joint. The result of this study will help us in better understanding of factors affecting balance and mobility and also how obesity and lower extremity function affects balance in Knee OA individuals. Also this study will help in improving the protocol for obese elderly OA knee patients suffering from stability and mobility issues.
