Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Knee Pain | 4 weeks | Knee Pain will be quantified using Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). NPRS is a 11 point scale form 0-10. Lower Score on NPRS signifies less pain, whereas higher score on NPRS signifies more pain. |
| Physical Function | 4 weeks | To determine the physical function related to knee osteoarthritis Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) will be used with a total of 24 items and a higher score on WOMAC signifies poor outcome. |
| Isometric Muscle Strength | 4 weeks | Modified Sphygmomanometer will be used to measure isometric muscle strength of the muscles of the knee joint. A higher score signifies greater strength. |
| Functional Mobility strength | 4 weeks | 5 repetition sit to stand test will be used to determine functional mobility strength. Less time to complete the task signifies better outcome. |
| Cadence | 4 weeks | Observational gait analysis will be used to determine cadence. A higher score signifies better outcome. |
| Gait velocity | 4 weeks | Observational gait analysis will be used to determine cadence. A higher score signifies better outcome. |
| Stride length | 4 weeks | Observational gait analysis will be used to determine cadence. A higher score signifies better outcome. |
| Knee range of motion (ROM) | 4 weeks | Gonimeter will be used to measure knee range of motion.. A higher score signifies better outcome. |
