Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study Will investigate and compare the effects of retro-walking and forward-walking underwater treadmill training on pain, function and ROM in subjects with chronic knee OA

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In the current study, Sixty subjects from both genders, the dominant side only will be involved. They will be divided in to three equal groups: group A (experimental1), group B (experimental 2), group C (control), they will be signed a consent form to share in this study which aimed to investigate the effects of retro-walking and forward-walking underwater treadmill training on pain, function and ROM in subjects with chronic knee OA
