Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Visual Analog Scale (VAS) [2 minutes]
a 10-cm straight line with 0 on one end indicating no pain and 10 on the other end signifying unbearable pain. The participants were asked to mark the intensity of their current pain on the line
- two-minute walk test (2MWT) [2 minutes]
A 45-meter corridor was used for the 2MWT. The start and end points were marked, and the participants were asked to walk at a normal pace within these boundaries. The distance covered in two minutes was recorded
- Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index [10 minutes]
The questionnaire consists of 24 items, each scored from 0 to 4. The total score is obtained by summing the point equivalents of the responses given to all items. A higher score indicates poorer functionality
- Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) [10 minutes]
This tool comprises 38 questions in six domains, namely energy, pain, social isolation, physical mobility, emotional reactions, and sleep. Each domain is scored from 0 to 100. The total score is obtained by summing the scores obtained from the six domains. High scores indicate a good quality of life.
