Study Summary

This trial aims to study how fatigue impacts the risk of falling in adults aged 55-70 years with and without knee osteoarthritis. Participants will answer questionnaires, wear a physical activity measuring

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults aged 55-70 who sometimes to often feel knee pain, mainly on the inside of the knee joint, with little morning stiffness. They should be able to walk for half an hour without help like a cane or walker.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

Researchers are testing how tiredness from walking might increase tripping and falling risks in people with and without knee osteoarthritis. Participants will fill out surveys, wear an activity tracker for up to a week, do a treadmill walk, and take tests before and after walking to measure fatigue's effects.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

There may not be significant side effects from this study as it involves standard physical activities like walking on a treadmill. However, participants could experience general discomfort or aggravation of existing knee pain due to exercise.
