Study design :Quasi –experimental study. Objectives : To compare the effectiveness of Functional task training Versus EMG biofeedback, along with conventional physical therapy in the management of knee osteoarthritis. Background: Osteoarthritis is the most common disease affecting synovial joints characterized by degenerative structural remodeling of joint cartilage and of underlying subchondral bone, which again leads to pain and disability. The aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness of Functional task training Versus EMG biofeedback along with conventional physical therapy to reduce pain, improve strength and functional mobility in knee osteoarthritis Methods: In the 5- week intervention study, 30 participants diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis were divided into two groups by convenience sampling, Group A:(n=15) Functional task training along with conventional exercise program was applied and Group B:(n=15) EMG biofeedback along with conventional exercise program. For both groups, treatment consisted of 1 session/day, 5 days/week for 5 weeks. Data was collected and analyzed using SPSS 23. Results: A significant reduction in pain (p<0.05), improvement in the strength of the quadriceps muscle (p<0.05) and increase in knee function between (p<0.05) pre- and post- treatment stages in both groups.
