Goal: Knee osteoartritis causes more pain and disabilities in women. The study aims to investigate the factors associated with functional mobility in women with symptomatic knee osteoartritis. Tools and Methods: This cutting study included 78 women with knee osteoartritis. Functional mobility and balance were assessed using Timed Up and Go test and the Berg Balance Scale. It was also used the scale of knee injury and osteoartritis result and the hospital anxiety and depression scale. The average age was 64.9 ± 7.5. The average duration of the disease was 7.9 ± 6.7 years. The average body mass index was 32.4±5.2 kg/m2. Timeed Up and Go test time was an average of 32.5 ± 5.2 seconds. The average Hospital Anxiety and Depression Score-Anxiety and Depression scores were 9.3±5.7 and 6.5±4 respectively. The average Berg Balance Score score was 49.4±6,5. Timed Up and Go test time found significant correlations between age, body mass index, hospital anxiety and depression scale- anxiety and depression, Berg balance scale, knee injury and osteoartritis result scale symptoms and quality of life (correlation ratings, respectively 0,357, 0,240, 0,302, 0,246, -0,379, -0,236 and -0,229). The binary logistical regression analysis found that the Berg Balance Scale was an important risk factor for an abnormal Timed Up and Go (Hosmer-Lemeshow test p=0,440) Result: Symptomatic knee arthritis is associated with low functional mobility, advanced age, high body mass index, deteriorated emotional condition, deteriorated balance and low quality of life in women. Reduced balance was the most important risk factor for functional mobility.
