Brief Summary

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative disease associated with functional impairments, activity limitations, participation restrictions, as well as poor quality life. Therefore, the comprehensive assessment is important to determine how complex problems affect patients with OA. The first aim of this study was to link and allocate items of The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) OA index with ICF Comprehensive Core Set for osteoarthritis. The second aim was to examine the relationship between the quality of life and each ICF component's scores determined based on clinical data of WOMAC in OA.
