Abstract

Objective: This study aims to identify some factors related to physical function in elderly patients with knee osteorathritis. Methods: A aross-sectional descriptive study. Physical function can be assessed using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC), Stand and Go Test (TUG). Results: The mean WOMAC physical function score was higher in the older age group, the group living with a caregiver, overweight/obese or underweight, using 5 or more types of medication, and at high risk of falling. Impaired mobility according to TUG is related to: older age, sleep disorders, risk of falling, level of pain, whether knee osteoarthritis is treated or not. Conclusion: Physical function in elderly patients with arthritis is related to age, nutritional status, cohabitation status and risk of fall. Early detection of physical function decline in elderly with knee osteorathritis patients for appropriate solutions or interventions.
