Disability, Physical Impairments, and Poor Quality of Life, Rather Than Radiographic Changes, Are Related to Symptoms in Individuals With Ankle Osteoarthritis: A Cross-sectional Laboratory Study.

CONCLUSION: Individuals with symptomatic radiographic ankle OA had poorer physical outcomes, function, and QoL compared to asymptomatic individuals with and without radiographic ankle OA. This suggests that disability in ankle OA is related to symptoms rather than to radiographic evidence of degeneration. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2020;50(12):711-722. doi:10.2519/jospt.2020.9376.
