Abstract

Patient-reported outcomes drive clinical OA management, however these outcomes may not reflect how knee function is altered by OA. Therefore, the development of a multivariate KNee OA Walking Score (KNOWS) may deliver an objective measure of knee function that can be integrated into clinical decision making.
