The high rate of knee osteoarthritis has raised the need for accurate diagnostic methods. In this study, we propose a precise detection method using the center of pressure data obtained from the patients. The introduced automatic detection pipeline is based on the two modern algorithms of grey wolf and BAT. The extracted statistical features and the obtained data from healthy individuals and patients are processed with the grey wolf binary algorithm. The results are fed into the binary bat algorithm to select important features and increase the pipeline accuracy. Then the groups are classified using a four-layer neural network. We show that the proposed method with a simple four-layer neural network offers fantastic accuracy in high-speed processing large data and classifies the high-dimensional knee osteoarthritis center of pressure data with appropriate precision, recall, specificity, and F1 values. The proposed method has direct applications in knee osteoarthritis diagnostics in clinics.
