The aim of this study is to assess the effect of balance exercise on dynamic balance and physical function in 80 patients with different grades of primary knee osteoarthritis (KOA).
The study will include 80 patients with primary knee osteoarthritis divided into 4 groups according to the Kellgren and Lawrence grading scale (KL):
Group 1: 20 patients with grade I KOA Group 2: 20 patients with grade II KOA Group 3: 20 patients with grade III KOA Group 4: 20 patients with grade IV KOA
Patients will undergo pre-exercise and post- exercise assessment with:

Patients will be engaged in lower extremity kinesthesia and balance exercise program 3 time per week for 6 weeks. Divided into 2 stages, stage 1 and 2, each stage 3 weeks. Patients who fulfill at least stage 1 of the program will be included in the study.

Assessment of pain
Using the Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), which contains pain sub-score and a overall total score. The higher the score the worst the pain.
Time frame: 2-6 weeks
Assessment of stiffness
Using the Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), which contains stiffness sub-score and a overall total score. The higher the score the worst the stiffness.
Time frame: 2-6 weeks
Assessment of physical function
Using the time up and go test, where the patient is seated and asked to get up walk a distance turn around and return to chair and sit again. It is measured using a timer, the longer the patient takes the worst the physical function of the patient.
Time frame: 2-6 weeks
Dynamic Balance
Using the Modified star excursion balance test which measures the patients dynamic balance in several directions, giving the patient 3 attempts and measuring each time and taking a mean of the 3 measurements in each. An increase in the measurements means better dynamic balance and a smaller measurement means worse dynamic balance.
Time frame: 2-6 weeks
