| Abstract: | The knee joint is one of the joints that can easily be damaged or diseased among many joints in the human body. Osteoarthritis of knee is the most common type of joint disorder affecting the majority of people and it causes a huge burden of pain and disability. It is a degenerative disease of the cartilage of the joints. It is most prevalent in middle aged and older adults. The purpose of this study is to systematically evaluate the association between flat foot and Q angle in Knee OA patients which would allow effective treatment methods to be devised. It would also help us understand the alterations that can be made in foot posture using appropriate shoes, arch supports or foot orthotics. This study may hence, help reduce risk of developing Knee OA and excessive angulation of Quadriceps muscle. A total of 50 elderly with osteoarthritis participated in the study with the age group of 45 to 65 years old were recruited. Knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome scale (KOOS) was used to assess the quality of life of knee OA patients. Foot posture index was used to assess the severity of flat foot in knee OA patients. It was hypothesized that there is a significant relationship between Q angle, flat foot and knee disability in patients with knee osteoarthritis. |
