During 10-week treatment, a significant decrease in value of global WOMAC index was observed as well as sub scale values, that is, group of questions about pain and stiffness in relation to starting values.
Functional index WOMAC, which describes physical function of the impaired joint based on 17 details with consideration of difficulties in everyday life of the patient, had similar values in both groups in the beginning of treatment.
Exactly, these situations in which patient’s ailments were especially severe may be considered the leading symptoms. Thus, the highest initial pain scores (in the limits of 60–80 mm in VAS scale) were found in categories of such activities as “descending/climbing the stairs”, “bending down to the floor”, and “tiring home works”. At the same time, exactly in these categories, the improvement of indexes was the highest (between 20 and 27 mm) (Figure 3).
