This research aims to evaluate the effects of a structured physical therapy and rehabilitation program on walking patterns and foot pressure distribution in women who have had total knee replacement surgery. Patients with knee osteoarthritis undergoing this surgery often experience changes in their gait and weight distribution, which can impact their mobility and recovery. The study will investigate whether targeted rehabilitation can improve walking ability and promote more balanced foot pressure. The intervention involves a structured physical therapy rehabilitation program that includes exercises to improve range of motion, muscle strength, balance, and walking skills. This program is designed to enhance functional mobility and walking performance. Participants will undergo this program after their knee replacement surgery or if they have knee pathology without surgery. Participants will be assessed before and after completing the rehabilitation program, which typically lasts 6 to 10 weeks. Assessments include gait analysis to measure walking speed, step length, cadence, and other walking parameters, as well as plantar pressure measurements. Muscle strength and postural alignment will also be evaluated. These measurements will help determine the impact of the rehabilitation on functional recovery and walking performance.
