This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study compares two ways of giving you feedback while you exercise to strengthen your knee muscles. One method uses a Pressure Biofeedback Unit (a special air device that shows you a number as you press), and the other uses a firm foam roller under your knee. Both approaches are designed to help your muscles work better and reduce pain from mild knee arthritis.
When you have knee arthritis, your leg muscles often weaken because of pain and swelling, which makes rehabilitation harder. This trial wants to find out which type of feedback — seeing a visual target on a device or feeling resistance from foam — helps patients activate and strengthen their muscles more effectively during exercise.

You will visit a physiotherapy clinic three times per week for 8 weeks, with each session lasting 45 minutes. Each session includes standard warm-up and exercise exercises, followed by targeted strengthening work using either a pressure feedback device or a foam roller — depending on which group you're randomly assigned to. You'll be asked to perform specific muscle-tightening exercises while lying down, holding contractions for 10 seconds, and your progress will be measured through pain assessments and muscle function tests.
