What this Trial Is About
This research aims to evaluate how supervised exercise therapy and education affect the immediate response to using a soft knee brace in adults with knee osteoarthritis (OA). The study focuses on understanding the impact of these combined interventions on pain and function for people assigned to this treatment due to knee OA. Participants undergo exercise therapy and education as part of their physiotherapy rehabilitation. They are tested with and without the soft knee brace before starting the program, after completing the 6-week therapy and education, and again at 12 weeks to assess changes over time. During the study, participants will complete assessments including a pain rating scale, balance tests, knee stability questions, and a walking test at 6 and 12 weeks follow-up. These evaluations help researchers measure pain levels, physical function, and stability while monitoring responses to the knee brace. The study is observational and involves about 40 participants.
