The aim of this study is to determine the effects of a combined quadriceps and calf strengthening program on gait, strength, pain, disability, functional mobility, and sleep quality in patients with knee osteoarthritis. A randomized controlled trial will be conducted at Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar. A total of 52 participants aged 40-60 years with grade 2-3 knee osteoarthritis will be recruited using non-probability convenience sampling and randomly allocated into experimental and control groups. Outcome measures include Kinovea software for gait analysis, hand-held dynamometer for strength, Numeric Rating Scale for pain, WOMAC for disability, Timed Up and Go test for function, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index for sleep quality. Data will be analyzed using SPSS version 27 employing repeated measures ANOVA and mixed-way ANOVA.
