Status: Recruiting
Location: See all (2) locations...
Intervention Type: Procedure
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that affects many older adults. However, not all patients see improvements as a result of physical therapy management; therefore, a better understanding of biomechanics and assessment of clinical outcomes between responders and non-responders is required. The included participants will be provided with informed consent and an explanation of the study procedure before enrolling in data collection. The data collection will be arranged in the same order. Practice trials will be provided before the start of data collection. The data collection will consist of standardized questionnaires, assessments, and tests commonly used in clinics.
