Overview
Classification
Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) is used to evaluate the pain, stiffness, and physical function among patients with hip or/and knee osteoarthritis (OA). It consists of 24 different items divided into 3 subtypes:
- Pain consisted of 5 items[1]:
-Staying in bed, sitting or lying, standing, walking, and using stairs.
- Stiffness consisted of 2 items:
-After waking up in morning and later in the day.
- Physical Function consisted of 17 items:
-Using stairs, sitting, rising from sitting, standing, bending, walking, getting in and/or getting out of a car, during shopping, heavy household duties, light household duties, putting on/taking off socks, lying in bed, rising from bed, getting in and/or getting out of bath, getting on/off toilet.
Osteoarthritis is radiographically classified depending on the degree of joint involvement. The Kellgren-Lawrence is a common method to classify the severity of OA in the knee using five different grades. This classification was proposed by Kellgren et al. in 1957 and then it was accepted by WHO in 1961[2].
