Walking test for knee osteoarthritis in women
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how a single session of walking on a treadmill affects cartilage health in the knees of women with osteoarthritis, and whether bone-strengthening medications change that response. Participants will walk for 30 minutes, and their knee fluid and blood will be checked.
