Brief summary: This study will address the scarcity of research and the variations in recommendations regarding the effects of strength and balance training to reduce the fall risk in knee osteoarthritis patients.

Detailed description: This Study will be conducted in Alkhidmat Raazi Hospital. Written informed consent for inclusion in the study was taken. Patients of experimental group will receive balance training with conventional along with TENS, heating pad for one hour 3 times weekly. Assessment will be performed pre and post of intervention. Intervention will be given 3 days a week for 8 weeks.
