Clinical Trial: Applications of Ultrasound and Physical Parameters in Assessing Fall Risk in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis

U.S., March 20 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06882928) titled 'Applications of Ultrasound and Physical Parameters in Assessing Fall Risk in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis' on Feb. 25.

Brief Summary: Falls are a significant issue for patients with knee osteoarthritis, as they can lead to hospitalization or even more severe consequences. Therefore, it is crucial to assess fall risk early in rehabilitation clinics. Sarcopenia, which is the reduction of muscle mass, increases the risk of falls. This study involved 250 adults with knee osteoarthritis, using a technology called POCUS to assess muscle mass, combined with other tests to track fall incidents over three months. The study is expected ...
