Published on 2008 by ProQuest

Arthritis is currently the main cause of disability in this country. Specifically, knee osteoarthritis (KOA), is associated with significant mobility impairment and disability progression. Although radiographic joint changes are usually used to diagnose osteoarthritis and can contribute to how much pain and functional ability one has, these assessments do not predict the level of OA symptoms. Psychosocial factors have been shown to predict future pain and disability over and above disease or injury markers; however, these factors have rarely been studied in the prediction of progression of pain and disability for KOA patients, directly or in comparison to the impact of disease status.
