Background: Declined functional abilities were commonly found in people with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). However, reports of functional performance levels in females with KOA are limited.


Objective: To explore functional performance regarding balance ability, lower limb strength, gait speed, and walking endurance in females with KOA; additionally, to compare functional performance among a decade of age groups.


Methods: Eighty-eight female participants were tested for their functional ability using the timed up and go test (TUG), five times sit-to-stand test (FTSST), 10-meter walk test (10MWT), and 2-minute walk test (2MWT). The results were reported using descriptive analysis and compared the differences among age groups using one-way ANOVA.


Results: The participants demonstrated the average performances in TUG, FTSST, 10MWT, and 2MWT were 10.80 ± 1.54 seconds, 13.83 ± 2.80 seconds, 0.98 ± 0.17 m/s, and 110.99 ± 17.73 meters, respectively. Those aged 70–79 years had significantly poorer functional performance than other groups (p-value < 0.05), particularly in the TUG, 10MWT, and 2MWT.


Conclusion: Females with KOA was more notable with advancing age. The findings might be helpful to consider the program for functional improvement in order to delay or minimize the functional decline as a consequence of the KOA condition.
