To compare the effects of a 12-week resistance training program on unstable versus stable surfaces on muscle stiffness, muscle co-activation, and balance in older adults with knee osteoarthritis. The objective is to determine which training condition is more effective in improving musculoskeletal function and postural control.
Efficacy
Muscle stiffness of the quadriceps and hamstring muscles measured using shear wave elastography at baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention.

Participants in the URT group will undergo a 12 week resistance training program performed on unstable surfaces (e.g., BOSU balls or balance pads). Training will be conducted 3 times per week, each session lasting approximately 45 to 60 minutes, and includes exercises like squats, lunges, and leg extensions. Exercise intensity will progressively increase over. time. Sessions will be supervised by trained physiotherapists.
Participants in the SRT group will undergo the same 12-week resistance training protocol as the URT group, but on stable surfaces (e.g., gym floor or exercise mats). The frequency, duration, and exercise types are identical, but without surface instability. Sessions will also be supervised by trained physiotherapists.
