ABSTRACT Arthritis is one of the most common medical problems in the world that leads to disability and pain. Next to traumatic conditions, arthritis is the oldest and most widespread pathological condition reported in pathology (the study of disease and trauma in extinct societies). There are more than 100 forms of arthritis. Osteoarthritis is becoming increasingly recognized in both developed and developing countries as a major cause of pain and disability, with 44% - 70% of peep : over the age of 55 years having radiological evidence, and this figure rises to :85% above the 75 years of age group. Osteoarthritis is the most frequent joint disease encountered in the clinical practice with .prevalence rate of 22% to 39% in India and is the most common cause of locomotors disability in the elderly Background: Osteoarthritis of the knee is very common, affecting 12.4 million (33.6 %) adults over the age of 65 interestingly; women are more affected and burdened by osteoarthritis of the knee than men. Knee OA is the greatest contributor to impairment of functional ability of OA patients. The disability can be extensive, including mobility limitation, difficulty with activities of daily living, and social isolation. The principal contributors to disability are believed to include pain, reduced range of joint movement, and muscle weakness. PURPOSE: This study was aimed at comparing the effects of dynamic exercise with theraband and strengthening exercises for Quadriceps muscles in patients of OA knee joint. METHOD: An absolute number of 40 patients were chosen for the review initially. Thirty young adults (19 females, 11 males) participated in this pretest-posttest experimental study. Participants were randomly assigned to one of the two groups: 10 of them were rejected as they couldn't finish the meetings for different reasons. Just 30 subjects who full filled the incorporation standards were appointed in the study. VAS, WOMAC was used as outcome measure. Pre- and Post-intervention readings were taken. RESULT: The paired t-test was applied to find out the significance difference between pre and post values of VAS and WOMAC in group A (HIP + KNEE STRENGHTENING EXCERCISES) and group B (KNEE STRENGTHENING EXERCISES) respectively which shows a significant difference in both the groups and unpaired t-test was applied to find out the significance difference between the two groups but the results shown that there was no significant difference when the two groups were compared. CONCLUSION: In the current review we presumed that the Hip and knee strengthening is compelling and better than knee strengthening alone for decreasing pain and improving activity in people with osteoarthritis of knee. Walking worked on after the addition of hip strengthening in knee strengthening in individuals with knee Osteoarthritis. Dynamic or isometric resistance training improves functional ability and reduces knee joint pain of patients with knee OA
