Brief Summary

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

The goal of this randomized research study is to investigate the acute effects of ankle exercises on improving knee proprioception and pain in individuals with knee pain, aged 18-70, who receive intervention-based ankle and knee exercises to treat their knee pain. The main question it aims to answer is:

• Does ankle exercise affect knee joint proprioception and pain in individuals with knee pain? Researchers will compare ankle exercise (the intervention) with knee exercise (as part of their regular medical care for knee pain) to determine if ankle exercise is effective in improving knee joint proprioception and reducing pain.

Participants will be asked to do exercises and to let the researchers take their measurements.
