Experimental: Whole Body Vibration Training in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis
Group A Will receive WBV Training with frequency of 35 Hz, peak-to-peak amplitude of 4- to 6-mm Vertical sinusoidal vibration, and the total exposure time of 30 minutes (vibration 60 seconds, interval rest 60 seconds) in addition to traditional exercises,3 sessions per week for four weeks.

, A vibration device (My7™ model Personal Plate, Power Plate, Northbrook, IL, USA) will used in all WBVT sessions.

Experimental: Biodex Balance Training in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis
Group B will receive Biobex training, Total time of training was 10 minutes each set is 3 minutes with 20-second rest intervals in addition to traditional exercises,3 sessions per week for four weeks. - |
Sixty Subjects of both genders aged 40-60 years old with grade 2 knee osteoarthritis years will diagnosed by orthopedists they will assigned randomly into three groups:
|
|
Experimental: traditional exercises in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis
Group C Patients will receive only traditional exercises, 3 sessions per week for four weeks.
a good general guideline is 2-3 sets of 10-15 repetitions for each exercise.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
|
static balance
Time Frame: one month
|
static balance will be measured by Postural stability test by Biodex balance SD.
|
one month
|
|
Dynamic balance
Time Frame: one month
|
Dynamic balance will be measured by Limit of stability Test by biodex balance SD.
|
one month
|
|
Pain intensity
Time Frame: one month
|
Pain intensity will be measured by visual analogue scale (VAS),patients were presented with a 10-cm horizontal line, where the left end represents "no pain" and the right end represents "worst imaginable pain.
|
one month
|
|
.Functional abilities
Time Frame: one month
|
Functional abilities will be measured by Arabic- language version of knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score physical function short form (KOOS-PS).This validated seven-item questionnaire evaluates physical function in activities of daily living, with scores ranging from 0 (no disability) to 100 (severe disability)
