Methods33 patients with knee osteoarthritis who had radiological diagnosis and clinical symptoms were tested with 5 times sit-to-stand, 10 m walking speed, timed up and go test and isokinetic muscle strength. ResultsThere were very high correlation among 5 times sit-to-stand, 10 m walking speed and timed up and go (P<0.001). The lower extremity extensor muscle strength correlated with 5 times sit-to-stand, 10 m walking speed and timed up and go respectively (P<0.05). Conclusion5 times sit-to-stand test reflects the walking ability and the lower extremity muscle strength in patients with knee osteoarthritis, which can be used as a kind of assessment for knee osteoarthritis.
