Abstract
Knee arthritis is a common disease for elderly people who suffer inflammation of their knees. Various remedies have been proposed and put into practice for knee arthritis treatment and their efficacies vary. We present in this paper an empirical study on various long-established remedies for arthritis. The results given by various analysese we applied are not as clear-cut as expected. Some suggest that some common beliefs are incorrect, whilst others give controversy results hard to explain. These results can serve as a useful guide and reference for further study in related areas.
