Abstract

Osteoarthritis is a major cause of musculoskeletal disability. Non-pharmacological and non-surgical treatment is preferred for the management of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Osteoarthritis may result after an injury, either as a primary effect or direct damage to articular cartilage or secondarily, due to the greater stress to cartilage resulting from damage to load-attenuating knee tissues. Knee injury was more closely associated with unilateral knee osteoarthritis. Knee injury is believed to be a stronger predictor than obesity of unilateral osteoarthritis. Searching done by using databases such as CINAHL, MEDLINE, Google Scholar, COCHRANE, and other academic journals. The medical subject heading (MeSH) terms used were knee injury, osteoarthritis, knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome scale, KOOS, reliability, validity, responsiveness, and knee outcome scales. Literature and articles included in this independent study must be published from 2002 up to the present and in English.

Keywords: Osteoarthritis, knee injury, responsiveness.
