Summary

This study looks at whether a structured physical therapy program can improve how people walk and distribute weight on their feet after total knee replacement surgery. Researchers will measure walking speed, step length, and foot pressure in 30 female participants before and after the program. The goal is to see if targeted exercises can restore a more natural walking pattern.
