Brief Summary
This study aims to investigate the effects of a structured physical therapy and rehabilitation program on gait temporospatial parameters and plantar pressure distribution in patients who have undergone total knee replacement surgery. Patients undergoing total knee replacement often experience alterations in gait patterns and weight distribution, which may affect functional mobility and recovery outcomes. This study will evaluate whether a targeted rehabilitation program can improve walking performance and restore more symmetrical plantar pressure distribution. Participants will be assessed before and after the intervention using objective gait analysis and plantar pressure measurement tools. The findings of this study may help improve rehabilitation strategies and enhance functional recovery following knee replacement surgery.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Female participants aged between 40 and 70 years * Patients who have undergone unilateral total knee replacement (TKR) or have knee pathology without surgical intervention * Ability to walk independently with or without assistive devices * Medically stable and able to participate in a physical therapy rehabilitation program Exclusion Criteria: * Neurological disorders affecting gait (e.g., stroke, Parkinson's disease) * Severe musculoskeletal disorders other than knee pathology * History of revision knee replacement surgery * Significant cognitive impairment affecting the ability to follow instructions * Any contraindications to physical therapy rehabilitation
