Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (8)

  • Time up and Go test (TUG)

    Patients were asked to perform test at usual walking speed. Initial testing standardized verbal instructions given to the participant regarding procedure. For performing TUG participants were instructed to walk three meter and then, walk back to sit down. Note time on stopwatch. The average of tests trail was measured as the mean of TUG.

    Post 4th Week

  • overall stability index (OSI)

    Measures were obtained from 20-sec trials during which participants were asked to maintain an upright standing position on their dominant limb on the unstable surface of the Biodex Stability and Balance System.Its reliability is R = .94

Study Arms (2)

Group I

EXPERIMENTAL

The experimental group was treated with Balance Training on Biodex Stability System along with traditional exercises.

Other: Balance Training

Group II

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The Control group was treated with Traditional exercises only for Symptomatic knee osteoarthritis.

Other: Conventional Training

Interventions

Experimental group received balance training on Biodex stability System along with traditional exercise program. During balance training on Biodex, patients were instructed to stand on the platform with bare feet with open eyes and both legs supported. Patients were looking forward to screen having hands hang by the sides. The patients were instructed not to change their feet position and balance the body. The handles were accessible for safety point. But touching the handles cancelled the trail. Total time of training was 10 minutes each set is of 3 minutes with 20 sec rest intervals.

Group I

Control group has received traditional exercises i.e Quadriceps strength exercises, Hamstrings flexibility exercises and Balance exercises.

Group II
