| preparation of the expected outcome Expected outcome 1: the group that was submitted to the muscle strengthening protocol had better results on pain, evaluated by the digital pressure algometer and the visual analogue scale, on the physical function and quality of life, evaluated by the WOMAC questionnaire and the Inventory of depression of Beck, respectively, and on gait parameters assessed by the 2D camera system, during a 30-second walk at three different velocities, data collected before and after the intervention.;Expected outcome 2: The response to treatments is expected to be proportional to the severity levels of knee osteoarthritis.;Expected outcome 3: The results on pain, measured by the digital pressure algometer and the visual analogue scale, on physical function and quality of life, were evaluated by the WOMAC and Beck Depression Inventory, respectively, and on the gait parameters evaluated by the 2D camera system, during a 30-second walk at three different velocities, data collected before and after the intervention, are similar between the sexes. | — |
