Correlation between goniometric measurements of range of motion and radiographic scores in osteoarthritis knee: An observational study among females.

ABSTRACT: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative joint disease. Different radiological changes are found according to grades. Range of motions (ROMs) of knee decreases with severity of OA. Women are more sufferer than men in OA knee. Objective was to correlate goniometric ROM with Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) radiographic score of female osteoarthritic knee. The study was a cross-sectional study conducted in Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, BSMMU, Dhaka, from February 2020 to March 2021. According to ACR (American College of Rheumatology) criteria, total 66 patients with primary OA knee were selected and examined in this study. Maximal flexion, extension, and rotation movements were measured by a universal goniometer. X-ray of standing both (A/P and lateral) view and skyline view
