Purpose: to investigate the effect of core stability on PF OA. Methods: Thirty-one females with PF OA will be recruited. Patients will be randomly assigned into two groups, group A and group B . Patients in both groups will receive a traditional physical therapy treatment, but group (B) will receive additional core stability exercise. All patients will be evaluated for pain, functional performance, and muscular recruitment strategies (onset and duration) of multifidus, transversus abdominus (TrA), gluteus medius (GM), and vasti measured by quantitative Electromyography during stair ascent. pre and post-treatment.
