Investigator study aims to compare the benefits of isometric exercise and closed kinetic chain exercises in strengthening programs to lessen pain along with enhance functionality in patients with PFP that are being associated with osteoarthritis and the assessment of PFP pertains to its recognition and the determination of significant therapeutic techniques. 70 Participants from the department of physiotherapy, Civil Hospital Karachi CHK and Dow University of Health Science (DIPMR) will be randomly assigned into two groups, an experimental group receiving closed kinetic chain exercise, and a control group receiving isometric exercises. The therapy will last four weeks, consisting of twelfth sessions. There will be 35 to 40 minutes in each session, Patients will be evaluated on primary outcome measure, pain intensity and functional limitation using various scales, including the numerical pain rating scale (NPRS) and Kujala/anterior knee pain scale (AKPS)
