60 participants in 3 patient groups

Whole Body Vibration Training in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis

Experimental group

Description:

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.

Treatment:

Device: A vibration device

Other: traditional exercises

Biodex Balance Training in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis

Experimental group

Description:

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. -

Treatment:

Device: Biodex Balance Training

traditional exercises in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis

Experimental group

Description:

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.

Treatment:

Other: traditional exercises
