Combining the Egoscue Method and Mobilization with Movement (MWM) for knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a powerful, evidence-based approach. Egoscue corrective exercises restore whole-body postural alignment, while MWM-a manual therapy technique pioneered by Brian Mulligan-corrects joint positional faults by actively moving the knee pain-free.

The Egoscue Method approach for knee osteoarthritis (OA) focuses on improving alignment, hip function, ankle mobility, and muscle balance rather than strengthening the knee in isolation.

The exercises will consist of: knee drops, standing knee pillow squeezer, hook-lying knee pillow squeezer, floor/knee block, kneeling groin stretch, assisted runners stretch, sitting double, sitting single switch, counter stretch (wall) and supine foot circles. Mobilization with Movement (MWM) will be implemented after completing the Egoscue routine. This will include a medial tibial glide that is done in a non-weight bearing (NWB) position.

The Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is an 11-point scale, in which patients rate their pain in levels ranging between 0 (no pain) and 10 (worst imaginable pain). It is common because it is simple, has high test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.95) and responsiveness in musculoskeletal disorders, such as in knee osteoarthritis. A minimum of 2 points on NPRS is termed the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) on patients with musculoskeletal pain even with KOA.

Goniometry is a clinical instrument that can be used to evaluate the joint angles both in active and passive range of motion. It is said to be valid in knee flexion and extension (ICC values range between 0.85 and 0.99 with respect to experience of examiners), with a standard error of measurement of approximately 3-5 degrees. The MCID of range of motion may depend on the improvement in the range of motion; the range of improvement of at least 5-10 degrees in the knee flexion or extension is usually regarded as clinically significant in patients with KOA

Timed Up and Go (TUG) test refers to the time that the person requires to be seated on a chair, stand up, walk three meters, turn around, walk back, and reseat. It is a valid and reliable (ICC = 0.99) indicator of dynamic balance and functional mobility, with a sensitivity of 87% and specificity of 87% of predicting fall risk in older people. TUG is frequently employed to evaluate the improvement of balance and fall prevention in KOA patients. A difference of about 0.8 to 1.4 seconds is reported to be an MCID in older adults and KOA populations, which is a significant reduction in mobility and risk of falls

The EQ-5D is a standardized instrument that assesses the quality of life related to health in five dimensions which are mobility, self-care, normal activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. It is well-construct valid and test-retest reliable (ICC = 0.86 -0.90), and sensitive to clinical changes in chronic arthritis such as osteoarthritis. In the case of musculoskeletal and osteoarthritis patients, the EQ-5D index score should be changed by at least 0.074, which is the minimal rate of improvement in the health-related quality of life
