Knee osteoarthritis and chronic low back pain are common and often coexist. There are limited studies on the impact of coexisting musculoskeletal disorders on gait parameters and its association with self-assessed functional outcome. This study compared gait parameters, self-assessed functional outcome measurements, and quality-of-life scales between patients with knee osteoarthritis against those with coexisting knee osteoarthritis and chronic low back pain using gait analysis, Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index, and Short Form-36.

Objectives: To examine the reliability and face validity of ultrasound (US) measurements of distal femoral cartilage thickness (CT) using the infrapatellar view (IPV) with knee extension compared to the traditional suprapatellar view (SPV) with knee hyperflexion in young asymptomatic participants and patients with painful knee osteoarthritis (KOA).

Methods: The IPV was obtained in an extended knee position by placing the US transducer on the patellar tendon at a 60° angle tilted toward the distal femoral condyle in 19 young adults (control group) and 70 patients with KOA. The CT was measured at the medial femoral condyle, the intercondylar notch, and the lateral femoral condyle.
