Abstract: This study has been undertaken to investigate Effectiveness of Retro Walking in Patients with Osteoarthritis Knee with objective of knowing the effectiveness of retro walking on pain and disability in patients by using three scale such as Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), WOMAC index, and Proforma sheet with 40 Osteoarthritis knee patients were divided into two groups. Group A (Experimental group) 20 and Group B (control Group) 20 patients. For experimental group, mean difference of NPRS value is 4.45 which is higher than the control group mean difference value of 2.35. The mean difference value of WOMAC score for experimental group is 9.06 which is also higher than the control group mean difference value of 4.14. This study concludes that retro walking training demonstrates significant improvement in pain and disability scoring of patients with osteoarthritis knee than conventional physiotherapy.
