Knee Pain
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.
Time frame: 4 weeks
Physical Function
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.
Time frame: 4 weeks
Isometric Muscle Strength
Modified Sphygmomanometer will be used to measure isometric muscle strength of the muscles of the knee joint. A higher score signifies greater strength.
Time frame: 4 weeks
Functional Mobility strength
5 repetition sit to stand test will be used to determine functional mobility strength. Less time to complete the task signifies better outcome.
Time frame: 4 weeks
