The primary aim of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to compare the effects of two different home-based exercise programs namely OKC and CKC strengthening exercise intervention, on pain, disability, and quality of life on individuals with mild grade knee OA. Our secondary aim is to compare the effectiveness of OKC and CKC strengthening exercises on lower limb biomechanics during walking gait and sit to stand task. We hypothesize that after eight weeks of intervention OKC and CKC groups will show more improvements in pain, disability, and quality of life scores (what about the secondary outcomes) than the control group. For the CKC and OKC exercise group, participants will perform an 8-week individualized home exercise, a minimum of three sessions in a week. Each session lasts about 30 minutes, including 5 minutes of walking as warming up session and quadriceps and hamstring stretching as the cooldown session. Daily Paracetamol 3000mg will be provided to all three groups. However, the consumption depends on each participant's needs, and the participants need to record it in the diary given. The exercise diary will be given to each participant to ensure patients' adherence to home exercise. During the intervention phase, a designated research team member will contact the participants personally to encourage them to continue their exercises. The untreated control group received the patient's clinical education about clinical manifestations, risk factors, diagnosis, treatment, and nursing care for knee OA except the information related to exercise. The control group will not receive any home exercise guidance. Upon completing the trial, participants in the control group will receive either CKC or OKC exercises depending on their preference.
