Study Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of my study is to determine the effects of hip abductors strengthening and quadriceps strengthening in comparison with quadriceps strengthening alone in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Detailed Description
As the quadriceps strengthening is a keystone of exercise therapy for knee osteoarthritis. Thus is the hip abductors strengthening along with quadriceps strengthening would be added to the treatment protocol of osteoarthritis it might give more positive results, decrease pain and increase the recovery rate as well as helpful to improve the functional outcomes.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC)
Time Frame: 6 weeks
Changes from baseline- The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index is a tested questionnaire to assess symptoms and physical functional disability in patients with Osteoarthritis of the knee and the hip. The function dimension explores the degree of difficulty in 17 activities. Its score ranges from 0-96. 0 represents the best health status and 96 the worst possible status
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
Time Frame: 6 weeks
Changes from baseline- The Numeric Pain Rating Scale is a self-reported, or clinician administered, measurement tool consisting of a numerical point scale from 0-10 with extreme anchors of '0-no pain' to '10-extreme pain'. The scale ranges most commonly from 0-10 or 0-100, and can be administered in written or verbal form. 0 means " no pain" ands 10 or 100 means "Worst pain imaginable"
Secondary Outcomes
- Five Times Sit to Stand Test (FTSST)(6 weeks)
