Introduction Osteoarthritis affects your physical capacity and can impair your daily function. It can lead to significant walking difficulties and it can be both indoors and outdoors. The joint can become unstable when the knee is damaged and the risk of falling in elderly people , in particular, increases. The poor balance and stability also help to break down and break bones. These fractures can lead to severe impairment and fatal complications in some cases. In most old-age households no medical facilities are open. Due to the fear of joint pain and stiffness the mobility is restricted, and also the physical and pleasure activities which make it worse and more severe. The study on Home Delivery Exercise for the Improvement of the Knee Range of Motion and Gait in Knee Osteoarthritis has been conducted by Nobuhíro Tsumura, Aiko Kimura A(2008) Kobe University. Results show that the total range of knee motion and pain following the intervention has changed significantly. It is quite clear from the literature review that stretching exercises play an significant part in the treatment of knee arthritis. The importance of stretching all muscles that cross the given joint affected by osteoarthritis is underlined in a programme of physical treatment. Extension exercises improve the strength of the joints of the elderly. The decrease in joint pain when mobility increases. And this stretching exercise takes little time, no special facilities except for a convenience. Therefore, the researcher is keen to track the effects on discomfort, symptoms and efficiency of the operation of a daily stretching exercise programme. Methodology The main purpose of the research is to test the efficacy of stretching exercises on daily activities of elderly people living in Mumbai with osteoarthritis. The study's conceptual structure was based on the Adaptation Theory of Callista Roy. The research design for this study was almost experimental post- test community design. The independent analysis variable was extending. The dependent variables were pain, symptoms and activity results. The sample size was 80 old age prisoners (40 test group and 40 control group samples), who were chosen using the purposeful sampling technique. In the preliminary pain, symptoms and activity data, updated interview method KOOS rating scale was used. Extension activities in the study group were performed separately in two different groups of men and women using a curriculum and accompanied by a 25-minute exercise in the presence of the investigator each day for 15 days. On the 20th day, the two groups obtained post-test data on pain, RESEARCH ARTICLE OPEN ACCESS
