Brief Summary   Knee Osteoarthritis (OA)  contributes to nearly 80 % of Global OA burden. Knee OA is estimated to affect 3.9% of rural Indians and 5.5% of urban Indians. The initiation , progression and severity of Knee OA have been associated with decreased muscular strength and alteration in joint biomechanics. excercises to strengthen the knee are a crucial part of the treatment to avoid surgery and maintain joint mobility. This present study is designed to evaluate the muscle stengthening effect of Myostaal Liniment application as an add on physiotherapy as compared to physiotherapy alone in patients suffering from Knee Osteoarthritis.
