Brief summary: In this study compare different frequencies of whole body vibration training on physical function and muscle strength in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Detailed description: This randomized controlled trial is to compare different frequencies of whole-body vibration (WBV) training on physical function and quadriceps muscle strength in patients with knee osteoarthritis and further will be researched which frequencies are effective for knee OA patients and how much WBV training is useful modality for knee osteoarthritic patients. This research will have significant effects in improving muscle strength and functional level of knee OA patients.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Age 40-70 years
* Both genders
* Kellgren and Lawrance grade 2 and 3.
* Pain symptoms for at least 3 months
* Had no previous experience in WBV

Exclusion Criteria:

* Knee surgery in the past 6 months
* Patient with acute symptomatic knee OA
* Unable to walk unaided
* Diagnosed with other muscular and joint disease that affect the lower limb function
* Patient with any neurological conditions
* History of trauma to knee joint during last week.
