Effect of Peat Intervention on Pain and Gait in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis: A Prospective, Double-Blind, Randomized, Controlled Study

Table 1

Demographic characteristics of patients.

	Peat intervention group (n = 22) mean ± SD	Control group (n = 19) mean ± SD	value
Age (years)	66.41 ± 5.93	65.16 ± 9.31	0.618
Body mass index	23.85 ± 2.42	25.07 ± 3.22	0.187
Kellgren-Lawrence grade (grade 1/2/3)	10/7/5	6/7/6	0.482
Gender (M/F)	8/14	2/17	0.075

All patients participating in the study had the same Kellgren-Lawrence osteoarthritis grade on both knees. Age and body mass index comparison between two groups was done by the Mann-Whitney test. Kellgren-Lawrence grade and gender comparison between two groups were done by the chi-squared test.
