Knee osteoarthritis is common joint disorder in older adults. The prevalence of osteoarthritis is increasing in the elderly population and due to obesity. Balance disorder generally disturbed equilibrium and increase risk of fall. There is lack of proprioceptive sensation in patients with knee osteoarthritis. The aim of this study to compare improvement in balance between BRACE and proprioceptive training in knee osteoarthritis and to compare mobility level between proprioceptive and BRACE in knee osteoarthritis. Randomized control trial study of 8 week follows up. Sample size will be 22. The patients will be divided into 2 groups BRACE and proprioceptive training. The patients will get training section for 3 days per week for 8 weeks. The measurement will be taken at base line, after 8 weeks. Study duration will be 6 months. Individuals of age 50-70 year, Mini-mental state examination (MMSE) 20 or higher, Berg Balance Scale (BBS) 30-45 points, Experience of at least one fall during the previous 12 months, both Males and Females will be include. Patients will be excluded if they exhibited history of cardiovascular or musculoskeletal diseases, previously used medication for the central nervous system, occurrence of lower limbs lesions or fractures in last six months. Assessment tools will be MMSE, Berg balance scale, TUG, CTSIB, 6 minute walk test. Data will be analyzed through SPSS 20. Data will be check for its normality, within groups comparison paired sample T-test, between groups independent sample T-test will be used
