This study will be conducted to answer the research question: Are there differences between the effect of Biodex balance training and Whole-body vibration training on Knee osteoarthritis?
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of biodex training balance versus whole body vibration training on Knee osteoarthritis on: * Pain intensity * static balance * dynamic balance * Functional ability level

Sixty Subjects of both genders aged 40-60 years old with grade 2 knee osteoarthritis years will diagnosed by orthopedists they will assigned randomly into three groups: * Group A Will receive WBV Training with frequency of 35 Hz, peak-to-peak amplitude of 4- to 6-mm Vertical sinusoidal vibration, and the total exposure time of 30 minutes (vibration 60 seconds, interval rest 60 seconds) in addition to traditional exercises,3 sessions per week for four weeks. , A vibration device (My7™ model Personal Plate, Power Plate, Northbrook, IL, USA) will used in all WBVT sessions. * Group B will receive Biobex training and traditional exercises Total time of training was 10 minutes each set is 3 minutes with 20-second rest intervals * Group C Patients will receive only traditional exercises, 3 sessions per week for four weeks. a good general guideline is 2-3 sets of 10-15 repetitions for each exercise.
WBV Training with frequency of 35 Hz, peak-to-peak amplitude of 4- to 6-mm Vertical sinusoidal vibration, and the total exposure time of 30 minutes (vibration 60 seconds, interval rest 60 seconds) in addition to traditional exercises,3 sessions per week for four weeks. , A vibration device (My7™ model Personal Plate, Power Plate, Northbrook, IL, USA) will used in all WBVT sessions.

Pain intensity
Pain intensity will be measured by visual analogue scale (VAS),patients were presented with a 10-cm horizontal line, where the left end represents "no pain" and the right end represents "worst imaginable pain.
Time frame: one month
static balance
static balance will be measured by Postural stability test by Biodex balance SD.
Time frame: one month
Dynamic balance
Dynamic balance will be measured by Limit of stability Test by biodex balance SD.
Time frame: one month
.Functional abilities
Functional abilities will be measured by Arabic- language version of knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score physical function short form (KOOS-PS).This validated seven-item questionnaire evaluates physical function in activities of daily living, with scores ranging from 0 (no disability) to 100 (severe disability)
Time frame: one month
