This study will include women between 45-60 years of age group having knee pain and diagnosed with grade 2 unilateral OA knee. The decision was made to exclusively enroll female patients in this study due to the higher incidence of knee osteoarthritis in women compared to men. Additionally, this approach was taken to address the potential impact of sex-related differences in critical factors such as muscle strength and mass.
The criteria for exclusion is as follows: (i) engagement in physical exercise training within the previous year, and (ii) the presence of cardiovascular diseases and/or musculoskeletal disorders that hindered participation in exercise. (iii) Radiographic grade of 1 or >2 according to the Kellgren-Lawrence scale; (iv) history of joint surgery; (v) consumption of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs within the preceding three months for knee pain; and (vi) intra-articular administration of hyaluronic acid and corticosteroids within the preceding six months.
