Evaluation of association between repetitions of 30 seconds deep squat test and knee joint space width in individuals with knee osteoarthritis - a cross-sectional study

Knee osteoarthritis is a leading cause of pain, disability and dysfunction leading to poor quality of life and level of functioning. Early identification and management of Knee osteoarthritis may enable to delay in functional decline and  disease burden. This cross-sectional study aims to investigate the association between 30-second deep squat test repetitions and knee joint space width in individuals with diagnosed Knee osteoarthritis, proposing it as a clinical tool for early Knee osteoarthritis identification. The study will enhance our understanding of the link between functional performance and radiological changes in Knee osteoarthritis. It will enhances clinical assessments, offering a cost-effective and simple tool for detecting Knee osteoarthritis progression.
