The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of three modes of kinetic chain exercises (KCE) on muscle cross-sectional area, pain, function, and mobility among individuals with knee osteoarthritis (IKOA). 60 IKOA aged, over 50 years were recruited using a convenience sampling technique based on selection criteria. Then, the group was randomly allocated into three different groups, namely, open kinetic chain exercise (OKCE), close kinetic chain exercise (CKCE), and combined chain exercise (CCE). Muscle cross-sectional area, pain, and functional mobility were measured using thigh girth measurement, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and timed-up-go test (TUG), respectively. Data obtained before (baseline), at the end of the 3rd and 6th weeks were taken for analysis. Statistical significant (
