Primary outcomes

  1. Knee Pain

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    Knee Pain will be quantified using Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). NPRS is a 11 point scale form 0-10. Lower Score on NPRS signifies less pain, whereas higher score on NPRS signifies more pain.

  2. Physical Function

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    To determine the physical function related to knee osteoarthritis Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) will be used with a total of 24 items and a higher score on WOMAC signifies poor outcome.

  3. Isometric Muscle Strength

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    Modified Sphygmomanometer will be used to measure isometric muscle strength of the muscles of the knee joint. A higher score signifies greater strength.

  4. Functional Mobility strength

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    5 repetition sit to stand test will be used to determine functional mobility strength. Less time to complete the task signifies better outcome.

  5. Cadence

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    Observational gait analysis will be used to determine cadence. A higher score signifies better outcome.

  6. Gait velocity

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    Observational gait analysis will be used to determine cadence. A higher score signifies better outcome.

  7. Stride length

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    Observational gait analysis will be used to determine cadence. A higher score signifies better outcome.

  8. Knee range of motion (ROM)

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    Gonimeter will be used to measure knee range of motion.. A higher score signifies better outcome.
