Response - NO
Brief Summary   Till date there is no standard protocol available which goes in sequential manner and focusing over multiple domains (e.g. rate of Structural changes, Pain, Central sensitization, Functionality, Proprioception, Flexibility, Disability, Sleep quality, Dynamic balance, Gait, Quality of life) for patients with OA knee. The traditional treatment plan which is being followed in clinics is not wholesome. Usually, it includes one or other therapy as an adjustive therapy which focuses over limited domains and patient never gets satisfied with traditional or traditional along with adjustive therapy. Being an academician, PG Guide and a physiotherapist- seeing OPD Patients and their expectations I found a research gap regarding standard sequential evidence-based protocol. So, need of the study is to establish a standard evidence based protocol which follows the particular chronological order according to mechanism of action and which can cover almost every domains  (e.g. rate of structural changes, pain, central sensitization, functionality, proprioception, flexibility, disability, functionality, Sleep quality, dynamic balance, gait, quality of life) which gets affected in OA knee.
