本研究旨在检查不同膝关节问题组之间进行各种日常生活活动（adl）能力的差异。参与者包括328名老年女性（60-94岁，平均年龄76.1岁，标准差6.2）。受试者被分为三组：无膝关节疼痛组、轻度膝关节疼痛组和重度膝关节疼痛组。无膝关节疼痛组的adl完成率明显高于对照组（97%），低于对照组（38%），三组间差异无统计学意义。严重膝关节疼痛组的ADLs完成率为40%-97%，显著低于无膝关节疼痛组。此外，轻度和重度膝关节疼痛组的上下楼梯和坐起的成功率明显低于无膝关节疼痛组。总之，无论是否存在轻度或重度膝关节疼痛，一些adl很难实现，而另一些则很容易。严重膝关节疼痛的老年人很难达到许多ADLs。此外，轻度和重度膝盖疼痛的老年人上下楼梯和坐起来都很困难。
This study aimed to examine the differences in the ability to perform various activities of daily living (ADLs) among groups with various knee problems. The participants consisted of 328 elderly females (age 60–94; mean age 76.1 years; standard deviation 6.2). The subjects were classified into three groups: those without knee pain, those with mild knee pain, and those with severe knee pain. ADLs with markedly higher (>97%) and lower (<38%) achievement rates in the group without knee pain were not significantly different among the three groups. Achievement rates of 40%–97% for ADLs were significantly lower in the group with severe knee pain than in the group without knee pain. In addition, the groups with mild and severe knee pain demonstrated significantly lower achievement rates of ascending and descending stairs and sitting up than the group without knee pain. In conclusion, regardless of the presence of absence of mild or severe knee pain, some ADLs are difficult to achieve, while others are easy. The elderly with severe knee pain find it difficult to achieve many ADLs. In addition, it is difficult for the elderly with mild and severe knee pain to ascend and descend stairs and to sit up.
