Allocation: RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: PARALLEL
Intervention model description: Parallel Assignment of patients into two groups
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

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.
