Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change from baseline in Korean version of Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index	K-WOMAC is widely used in the evaluation of Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis. It is a self-administered questionnaire consisting of 24 items divided into 3 subscales	Screening, day 11, day 21
Secondary	Change from baseline in Numeric rating scale	NRS range was 0-10 with 0 being no pain and 10 the worst pain possible.	Screening, baseline, day 5, 11, 21, 28, 84
Secondary	Change from baseline in Physical Condition related with mobility at every visit	mobility (5 meters walking test at comfortable speed - 5mWT) (meters/second)	Screening, day 11, day 84
Secondary	Change from baseline in Physical Condition related with endurance at every visit	endurance (Sit-to-stand test - STS) (seconds)	Screening, day 11, day 84
Secondary	Change from baseline in Timed Up and Go Test at every visit	a functional test evaluating the time to rise from a chair, walk 3 meters, turn around, walk back to the chair and sit down (abnormal cut-off value >12 seconds).	Screening, day 11, day 84
Secondary	Change from baseline in Alternative-Step Test at every visit	a functional test measuring clinical balance performance, and it has been shown to predict fall risk among elderly subjects (seconds)	Screening, day 11, day 84
Secondary	Change from baseline in Range of motion	Compare flexion and extension angle using long arm goniometer between experimental and comparator group	Screening, baseline, day 5, 11, 28, 84
