Abstract: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic joint condition affecting over 250 million people worldwide [1]. Along with a significant impact on health-care and society, the Global Burden of Disease Study from the World Health Organization reported that knee OA is the 11th leading cause of disability, and shows a growing trend [2] Although it may damage any joint in the human body, the most common disorders affect joints in the hips, knees, hands and spine.
