Background: The presence of Diabetes Mellitus is associated with a worsening of knee pain and greater physical and
mental issues in Osteoarthritis patients. The pain in the patients with knee Osteoarthritis leads to functional limitations.
It has been proved that the patient with diabetes mellitus demonstrate the higher intensity of pain.
Aim: The aim of the study to compare of functional performance in knee osteoarthritis patients with diabetes mellitus and
without diabetes mellitus
Settings and Design: A cross-sectional study (comparative study) was conducted at tertiary care hospital.
Subjects and Methods: The present study included 50 patients 25 in each group. The patients were grouped into 2 groups.
Group A included patients with Diabetes Mellitus and Knee Osteoarthritis and group B included Knee Osteoarthritis
patients without Diabetes Mellitus. To assess the functional limitation Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis
Index (WOMAC), and Time Up Go (TUG) test was used. ACR criteria was used to diagnose Osteoarthritis. The patients of
40-55 age group and Grade 2 Osteoarthritis were included in the present study, patients with knee surgery and history of
trauma were excluded.
Statistical Analysis Used: The data was analyzed using a Graph-pad version 3.06.Appropriate test of statistical
significance was applied test (for normally distributed ) and Mann whitney (for not normally distributed)
Results: The mean NPRS Was Group -A was 6.560 (+1.261) and Group -B was 6.560 (+1.466).Therewas nosignificance
difference in the WOMAC score between the two groups. The mean of TUG test was group -A 18.48(+2.220) and group -B
was 18.96(+2.791) there was no significant difference between two groups (p- >0.527)
Conclusions: The present study concludes that though the NPRS and functional limitation is greater in Knee
Osteoarthritispatients with Diabetes Mellituswhen compared to patient with Knee Osteoarthritis patients without
Diabetes Mellitus but the difference is not statistically significant.
