intervention group

OTHER

health education program explaining the nature of the condition(KOA causes, pathological changes, and natural course of the disease), we explained the recommendations for the treatment of KOA, teaching the patient a home exercise program of 5 exercises (targeting knee extensor and hip muscle ), selection of a physiotherapy program suitable to the patient clinical condition, recommendations to increase daily physical activity ( e.g. brisk walking) with joint protection measures along with a weight reduction regimen proposed in overweight and obese patients and prescribing a suitable pharmacological treatment to the patients

Behavioral: health education
