Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

Change in Pain Intensity Measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), 0-10; lower scores indicate less pain
To compare the effect of Sensory-Modulated Graded Weight-Bearing Physiotherapy on pain intensity between male and female patients with knee osteoarthritis
Baseline, Week 3, and Week 6
Change in Physical Function Measured by the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Physical Function Subscale, 0-68; lower scores indicate better function
To compare the effect of Sensory-Modulated Graded Weight-Bearing Physiotherapy on physical function between male and female patients with knee osteoarthritis
Baseline, Week 3, and Week 6
Change in Knee Joint Proprioception Measured by the Joint Position Sense (JPS) Test (absolute repositioning error in degrees; lower values indicate better proprioception)
To compare the effect of Sensory-Modulated Graded Weight-Bearing Physiotherapy on proprioception between male and female patients with knee osteoarthritis
Baseline, Week 3, and Week 6

Secondary Outcomes (1)

Change in Health-Related Quality of Life Measured by the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), 0-100; higher scores indicate better health-related quality of life
Baseline, Week 3, and Week 6

Study Arms (2)

Arm 1 - Arm Title: Male Participants

EXPERIMENTAL

Twenty-six male participants with knee osteoarthritis will receive the Sensory-Modulated Graded Weight-Bearing Physiotherapy Programme for six weeks, with three supervised sessions per week. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, Week 3, and Week 6.

Behavioral: Sensory-Modulated Graded Weight-Bearing Physiotherapy

Arm 2 - Arm Title: Female Participants

EXPERIMENTAL

Twenty-six female participants with knee osteoarthritis will receive the Sensory-Modulated Graded Weight-Bearing Physiotherapy Programme for six weeks, with three supervised sessions per week. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, Week 3, and Week 6.

Behavioral: Sensory-Modulated Graded Weight-Bearing Physiotherapy

Interventions

Sensory-Modulated Graded Weight-Bearing PhysiotherapyBehavioral

A structured six-week Sensory-Modulated Graded Weight-Bearing Physiotherapy Programme consisting of three supervised sessions per week (18 sessions total). Each session includes warm-up, sensory modulation, proprioceptive training, graded weight-bearing strengthening, functional mobility exercises, and cool-down activities. The programme progresses through three phases: Weeks 1-2 focus on sensory activation and proprioceptive training; Weeks 3-4 on graded weight-bearing strengthening; and Weeks 5-6 on functional weight-bearing integration. Exercises are progressed according to participant tolerance, pain severity, and functional performance. Both male and female groups receive the same intervention.

PARALLEL

Model Details: This study will evaluate the effect of Sensory Modulated Graded Weight Bearing Physiotherapy and compare the treatment response between male and female participants. The study will include two parallel groups: a male group and a female group. Both groups will receive the same physiotherapy intervention for 6 weeks. Outcomes will be assessed before and after the intervention to determine whether the effectiveness of the intervention differs between male and female participants.
