    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    assessment of knee pain
    by visual analogue scale ( VAS ) to assess knee pain -minimum score is 0 point and maximum score is 10. score of 10 means worst pain outcome
    assessment of knee function
    by Anterior Knee Pain Scale ( AKP )- minimum score is 0 point and maximum score is 100 points . score of 100 means no pain . this scale assesses knee pain and function

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    Assessment of muscle strength
    by Hand-Held Dynamometer (HHD):
    Assessment of balance:
    by Biodex Balance System is the device to assess balance and postural stability .
