Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Pain intensity
Pain intensity will be measured by visual analog scale (VAS. ). It is line with worst pain at one end and no pain at the other end
Time frame
up to three monthes2
knee disability
knee disablity will be measured by The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index. The WOMAC is a self-administered instrument containing 24 items measuring 3 subscales: physical function (17 items), pain (5 items), and stiffness (2 items).Scores range from 0 to 96 for the total WOMAC where 0 represents the best health status and 96 the worst possible status.
Time frame
up to three monthsSecondary outcomes

knee range of motion
knee joint rang of motion will be measured by goniometer
