Study Overview
Brief Summary
This was a randomized control Trial, conducted with two group of patients, one has received Balance and stability training on Biodex stability system along with conservative protocol of traditional exercises. the other group has received only conservative protocol of traditional exercises
Detailed Description
Patients with Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis have balance and stability deficits. In routine such patients are not evaluated and treated on balance and stability parameters. So this study was conducted with objectives to determine the effects of Balance training using Biodex stability system in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis.
Experimental group has received Balance and stability training on Biodex stability system along with conservative protocol of traditional exercises.
Control group has received only conservative protocol of traditional exercises.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Time up and Go test (TUG)
Time Frame: Post 4th Week
Patients were asked to perform test at usual walking speed. Initial testing standardized verbal instructions given to the participant regarding procedure. For performing TUG participants were instructed to walk three meter and then, walk back to sit down. Note time on stopwatch. The average of tests trail was measured as the mean of TUG.
overall stability index (OSI)
Time Frame: Post 4th Week
Measures were obtained from 20-sec trials during which participants were asked to maintain an upright standing position on their dominant limb on the unstable surface of the Biodex Stability and Balance System.Its reliability is R = .94
Anterior-posterior stability index (APSI)
Time Frame: Post 4th Week
Measures were obtained from 20-sec trials during which participants were asked to maintain an upright standing position on their dominant limb on the unstable surface of the Biodex Stability and Balance System.Its reliability is R = .95
Medial-lateral stability index (MLSI)
Time Frame: Post 4th Week
Measures were obtained from 20-sec trials during which participants were asked to maintain an upright standing position on their dominant limb on the unstable surface of the Biodex Stability and Balance System.Its reliability is R = .93
Secondary Outcomes
- Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)(post 4th week)
- Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC)(Post 4th week)
