Influence of Knee Osteoarthritis Severity, Knee Pain, and Depression on Physical Function: A Cross-Sectional Study
Severe knee pain and depression were significantly associated with decreased physical function, but not radiographic KOA severity except for KL grade 4. The limitations of using radiographic KOA severity alone as the indicator of assessment for physical function were suggested. When assessing decreased physical function, the clinical focus tends to be on radiographic KOA severity, but it is important to consider the patient's knee pain and psychological factors.
