This study evaluated the comparative effects of exergaming-based balance training and conventional physiotherapy on pain, functional mobility, and balance among older adults with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Thirty participants aged 55–70 years were randomly divided into two equal groups: Group A (Exergaming-Based Training) and Group B (Conventional Physiotherapy). Both groups underwent six weeks of intervention, three sessions per week. Outcomes were assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain, the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test for functional mobility, and the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) for balance. Results revealed significant improvements in both groups (p < 0.05), with greater improvements observed in the exergaming group across all measures. These findings suggest that exergaming-based training provides a more engaging and effective approach to enhancing balance and functional outcomes in older adults with knee OA.

Mulligan mobilization can be integrated into physiotherapy protocols for knee OA to enhance patient outcomes and encourage early return to daily activities.
