Summary
The most prevalent health hazard in the world’s population is chronic diseases of musculoskeletal system. Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common and frequently disabling of the joint disorders. OA has been classified as primary (idiopathic), with no prior event or disease related to the OA, and secondary, resulting from previous joint injury or inflammatory disease ( Paul & Williams, 2016). Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is the most common form of osteoarthritis and a widely prevalent joint disease over the world. In the USA, OA affects nearly 40 million women and men which almost makes up 15% of the general population, and will rise to 18.2% by 2020. It is estimated that by 2030 there will be 67 million people diagnosed with OA in the United States (Uludağ & Kaşikçi, 2019)
