Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (4)
Serum uric acid level before and after treatment for both groups (A and B): Table 2: Mean values for Serum uric acid level before and after treatment for both groups (A and B).
a sample of blood was used to assess the level of uric acid in the blood for both groups A \& B before and after treatment
2 week before and 2 week after
Visual analogue scale before and after treatment for both groups (A and B): Chicago, Illinois, USA). The P-value is the degree of significance. A P value less than or equal to 0.05 was considered to be significant.
consists of a straight line with the endpoints defining extreme limits such as 'no pain at all' and 'pain as bad as it could be. The patient was asked to mark her pain level on the line between the two endpoints. The distance between 'no pain at all' and the mark then defines the subject's pain intensity .
2 week before and 2 week after
The Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale
will be used to measure the level of exertional effort for both groups A \& B before and after treatment
2 week before and 2 week after
Digital blood pressure monitor
It measures blood pressure (systolic \& diastolic) quickly, is easy to use, reliable, and convenient to carry. The monitor has a display that shows systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. The machine comes with an arm cuff with an air tube and an air jack for connecting the cuff to the machine

Interventions
-Aquatic exercises: At the beginning of the exercises, aquatic exercises technique was educated to the participants out of water. Then, the aquatic exercises were conducted in a chest warm pool (28-30°C) for 30 minutes, three sessions a week for eight weeks. -Traditional physical therapy programs : which included using hot packs (20 minutes), ultrasound (5 minutes), and electrotherapy using TENS (15 minutes) in addition to stretching exercises for the calf, hamstring muscles and big toes and strengthening exercises for the quadriceps muscles for 30 minutes". The stretching exercises were performed in 3 weekly sessions over 8 weeks, each with a 30 second holding and a 30-second relaxation repeated three times. One group of strengthening exercises consisted of 10 repeats with a 5 second holding
