Study population: A second assessment will be done 48 hours after the initial one. It will be completed as a dual job for the second evaluation. The patient will be given activities involving colors and numbers as part of the dual evaluation, and concurrently, after the isokinetic device has assessed the patient's muscle strength, the 30-second sit-and-stand test will assess the patient's function and balance.

Brief summary: Osteoarthritis is characterized by progressive degeneration of articular cartilage, weakening of subchondral bone, synovial inflammation, meniscal degeneration, and intra-articular osteophytes.

Detailed description: Dual tasking is when two tasks can be done simultaneously. A dual task may involve two different simultaneous motor tasks, or it may include a cognitive task in addition to the motor task. Following the additional task given, there may be a decrease in the performance of the main task or in the performance of both tasks.

Decreased balance control can lead to fall injuries that result in serious physical, psychological and social losses. Before the management of this condition, an effective evaluation of balance control in patients with knee osteoarthritis is required.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Being between the ages of 40-65
* A diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis in at least one of the knees clinically and radiographically according to the criteria of the American Society of Rheumatology
* Findings consistent with stage II-III osteoarthritis
* Pain is between 2 and 7 according to the visual analog scale.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Acute osteoarthritis in the knee
* Comorbid diseases (advanced osteoporosis, vertigo, neurological diseases, etc.), injuries and surgeries for which exercise is contraindicated

* Having exercised regularly in the last 6 months (more than 1 day per week)
* Having undergone arthroplasty surgery
* Intra-articular injection (hyaluronic acid/steroid) administration in the last 6 months
