Forty-nine subjects (57.6%) 60–69 years old, 34 subjects (40%) 70–79 years old, and 2 subjects (2.4%) older than 80 years old. According to domain EQ5D mobility, self-care, daily activity, pain, anxiety/depression, we found significant difference between mobility and self-care P = 0.037 r −0.227, mobility and daily activity P < 0.001 r 0.446 (moderate correlation), mobility and pain P = 0.002 r 0.329 (moderate correlation), mobility and anxiety P = 0.531 r 0.069, pain and activity P < 0.001 r 0.609 (strong correlation), ages and mobility, P = 0.754, r −0.34. From this research, majority cause of activity and participation restriction are pain disorder and mobility problem on women. So, rehabilitation management is more focused on appropriate intervention strategies with pain management and optimizing mobility for Geriatric with Knee Arthritis.
