Objective: The purpose of the study was to find the effect of Balance, Resistance, Aerobic, Cognitive Exercise (BRACE) and proprioceptive training on balance and mobility in knee osteoarthritis. Study Design: Randomized Controlled Trial. Setting: Independent University Hospital Faisalabad. Period: September 2020 to December 2020. Material & Methods: A sample of 18 participants were included. The participants were divided into 2 groups BRACE and proprioceptive training by lottery method. The participants got 3 training sessions per week for 8 weeks. The measurements were taken at baseline and after 8 weeks. Statistical Package for Social Sciences(SPSS 27) was used to analyzed the data. Results: The age of participants in both groups was (55.67±2.761) years. The gender distribution of participants was female (55%) and male (45%). Within group analysis shows statistically significant relat ion on BBS and TUG from baseline to 8 weeks in both groups (p 0.05). Conclusion: Both groups shows comparable improvements in balance and mobility but BRACE protocol showed more improvement as compared with proprioceptive.
