time and cost. Aim of study: Was to evaluate the effect of implementing exercise program on pain
and physical functions among patients with moderate knee osteoarthritis. Design: A quasiexperimental design was utilized. Setting: The study was conducted at the outpatient clinic of the
Physical Medicine, Rheumatology and Rehabilitation, El-Hadara Orthopedic and Traumatology
University Hospital, Alexandria, Egypt. Subjects: Fifty patients with moderate knee osteoarthritis
(KOA) were recruited. Tools of data collection: Three tools were utilized, I: Self- Reported
Questionnaire: Western Ontario and McMaster (WOMAC) OA Index, and Visual Numeric Pain
Scale (VNS). II: Clinical Based Data Assessment (Body Mass Index). III: Mobility Index of
patients with knee osteoarthritis. Results: There was highly significant improvement of pain,
stiffness, physical function disability, VNS, knee range of motion, time up and go, and 30 S-Chairstand test, post exercise program intervention (P<0.001). Conclusion: Implementation of exercise
