Name	Time	Method
Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC)	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)	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 Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Five Times Sit to Stand Test (FTSST)	6 weeks	Changes from baseline- Five time Sit-to-Stand Test was related to lower-extremity proprioception, postural sway, strength, and visual contrast sensitivity. Various methods have been used in an attempt to determine how well older adults can rise from a chair have suggested repeating the chair rise 5 times.
