What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate the effects of supervised exercise therapy and education on patients with knee osteoarthritis, specifically focusing on their immediate response to using a soft knee brace. The study will enroll 40 participants who will be assessed before and after a 6-week treatment program, with follow-up evaluations at 12 weeks. Participants will be tested with and without the brace to determine the impact of the interventions on pain and rehabilitation outcomes.
