The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Total and the 3 Subscales Scores (Pain, Stiffness and Physical Function) at Screening 1 by Using a Paper Worksheet and a Personalized Electronic LogPad System (E-diary) Primary · Screening 1 (Visit 1: Days -21 to -14)

The WOMAC has 3 subscales: WOMAC pain subscale, WOMAC stiffness subscale and WOMAC physical function subscale, which are comprised of 5, 2 and 17 questions regarding the amount of pain and stiffness experienced in the index knee, and degree of difficulty in doing daily tasks, respectively in the past 48 hours. The WOMAC subscale scores range from 0 to 10 with higher scores indicating higher pain, more stiffness and worse function respectively for pain, stiffness and physical function subscales. The WOMAC subscale scores were calculated as the mean of the scores from the individual questions. T
