Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
exercise group
An exercise program will be performed to increase range of motion, improve motor learning and strengthen the muscles of the lower limb. The program will include exercises 2 times a week for four weeks. The first week the exercises will be performed with 2 sets of 15 repetitions and the remaining weeks 3 sets of 15 repetitions for each exercise. To exercise will be performed with the resistance of cinnamon, It will be recommended weight by 70% of one repetition maximum painless assigned individually per patient.

phototherapy group
And, Phototherapy will be administered with a portable nine-diode cluster. The portable nine-diode cluster will be used overlapping three quadrants of the knee in random sequence: medial quadrant, lateral quadrant and posterior quadrant.with one 905-nm diode (mean power: 1 milliwatt ; peak power: 10 megawatt; spot size: 0.44 cm2), four 875-nm diodes (mean power of each diode: 17.5 milliwatt; spot size: 1 cm2) and four 670-nm diodes (mean power of each diode: 15 mW; spot size: 1 cm2); frequency: 1000 Hz; 300-second irradiation time in each quadrant; total energy: 39.3 Joules per quadrant. Phototherapy will be included in the exercises group.

Phototherapy will be administered with a portable nine-diode cluster. The portable nine-diode cluster will be used overlapping three quadrants of the knee in random sequence: medial quadrant, lateral quadrant and posterior quadrant), with one 905-nm diode (mean power: 0 milliwatt; peak power: 0 watt; spot size: 0.44 cm2), four 875-nm diodes (mean power of each diode: 0 milliwatt; spot size: 1 cm2) and four 670-nm diodes (mean power of each diode: 0 milliwatt; spot size: 1 cm2); frequency: 0 Hz; 300-second irradiation time in each quadrant; total energy: 0 Joules per quadrant. Phototherapy will be included in the exercises group.
