Ultrasound and balance tests for fall risk in knee osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound and physical tests to check how well you can balance and move, to help predict your risk of falling. It could help you understand your fall risk and guide ways to stay safe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 60 years old or older.
- You have knee osteoarthritis (confirmed by a doctor).
- You can walk independently, with or without a cane or walker.
