The population in this research were 180 patients with knee OA as many as 70 patients were taken into the sample. There wasa correlation between pain intensity and physical dimension in quality of life of patients with knee OA with p = 0,000 (p <0,050) and R Square = 0,573 which meant pain had impact on physical dimension in quality of life as much as 57.30%, while the remaining of 42.70% was influenced by other variables such as swelling, joint stiffness and muscle weakness.
