OA is a non-inflammatory progressive musculoskeletal disease and is one of the most common degenerative diseases in the general population. OA is characterized by progressive cartilage destruction in load-bearing joints, subchondral sclerosis, osteophyte formation, and some biochemical and morphological changes in the synovial membrane and joint capsule. Common symptoms of knee osteoarthritis are; Knee pain that increases with activity, limitation of normal joint movement of the knee, edema, and knee pain that begins with prolonged sitting.
