Background:
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease commonly affecting older adults, particularly women, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. In West Bengal, the growing elderly population faces a higher prevalence of OA, which severely impacts their functional mobility and quality of life. Therapeutic interventions such as exercise have shown promise in mitigating these effects, but region-specific studies are limited.
