Clinical Formula & Evidence

The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) is the gold standard clinical score for evaluating hip and knee osteoarthritis. It analyzes three dimensions: joint pain during load-bearing, morning stiffness duration, and degree of physical functional disability.

Clinical Reference Stages

Mild Joint Stress (Score 0 – 25) Early strain or minor wear. Low-impact cycling, swimming, quadriceps strengthening, and comfortable footwear recommended.
Moderate Osteoarthritis (Score 26 – 50) Noticeable joint space reduction and cartilage wear. Orthopedic evaluation advised for physiotherapy, anti-inflammatory support, and lifestyle modification.
Significant Joint Restriction (Score 51 – 75) Advanced osteoarthritis with persistent walking pain and stiffness. Weight bearing X-rays, intra-articular injections, or joint preservation therapy advised.
Severe Joint Degeneration (Score 76 – 100) Severe bone-on-bone friction and deformity. Significant loss of daily independence. Consult Dr. V. Ravi for Total Knee Replacement (TKR) evaluation.
