  1. aWOMAC dimension scores range 0–20 (pain), 0–8 (stiffness) and 0–68 (physical function); a higher score indicates increased pain or stiffness or worse physical function
  2. bSF-36 dimension scores range 0–100: a higher score for each dimension indicates the better health-related quality of life
