Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Cadence	4 weeks	Observational gait analysis will be used to determine cadence. A higher score signifies better outcome.
Functional Mobility strength	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.
Stride length	4 weeks	Observational gait analysis will be used to determine cadence. A higher score signifies better outcome.
Knee range of motion (ROM)	4 weeks	Gonimeter will be used to measure knee range of motion.. A higher score signifies better outcome.
Isometric Muscle Strength	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.
Knee Pain	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.
Physical Function	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.
Gait velocity	4 weeks	Observational gait analysis will be used to determine cadence. A higher score signifies better outcome.
