The aim of this randomized controlled study is to investigate whether the implementation of Blood Flow Restriction, in which the de-loading factor is delivered by the combined progressive de-loaded walking to running activity on an antigravity treadmill (treatment group), is more effective than the same antigravity protocol alone (control group). Participants will be divided as follows: Intervention group: anti-gravity treadmill combined with blood flow restriction Control group: anti-gravity treadmill Both groups will also undergo a standardized knee Osteoarthritis management through an aerobic and strength program.
