Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<br> 1. Perceived knee pain is measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS) at baseline and every two minutes throughout the study<br> 2. Gait characteristics (joint angle and torque) are measured using high-speed video and a force plate with 59 reflective markers at baseline (0 minute), infusion (8 minutes), and treatment (38 minutes)<br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<br> 1. Perceived knee pain is measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS) under hypertonic saline infusion<br> 2. Gait characteristics (joint angle and torque) are measured using high-speed video and a force plate with 59 reflective markers under hypertonic saline infusion<br>
