Increased BMI is a well-recognized risk factor for radiographic knee osteoarthritis however, the contributions   from joint mobility also have an impact on subjects with knee osteoarthritis. The objective of the study is to find out the correlation of knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS) with anthropometric measures and flexibility in subjects with Knee OA.
