Abstract
BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative joint disease, particularly affecting individuals aged >50 years. It deteriorates quality of life and restricts physical activity in the elderly. Early diagnosis of OA is crucial for effective management, slowing disease progression, and alleviating symptoms.
