Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive and irreversible degenerative joint disease characterized by marginal bone hypertrophy, erosion, and subchondral sclerosis in the articular cartilage.It has been determined that being of advanced age and joint involvement due to osteoarthritis are a risk factor for addiction in activities and this increases the individual's self-care ability and dependency in daily living activities.Older individuals with knee osteoarthritis may be at risk of falling.This study was planned to examine the relationship between activity-specific balance confidence and fear of falling, autonomy and social participation in individuals with knee osteoarthritis over 65 years of age.
