Interventions
Participants will be divided into five groups: 1) Control group without OA group (n = 15): subjects without OA and no treatment. 2) Control group with OA group (n = 15): patients with osteoarthritis a
2) Strengthening exercises for the lower limbs (20 minutes)
3) Aerobic exercise (exercise bike) (20 minutes)
4) Stretching (5 minutes). Laser + exercise: Participants randomized to this group will carry out the exercise program (50 minutes) followed by the application of low power laser (56 seconds per point

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Improvement of average of velocity of gait in centimeters per second; that will assessed by equipment: Gaitrite Platinum 26 'Portable Walkway System; expected an increase of at least 10% of the average of speed of gait evaluated by the equipment: gaitrite Platinum pre and post-intervention. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Improvement of pain, i.e., decreasing Womac questionnaire scores, improved posture control (reduction sway of the center pressure) and the force (in Newtons / meter) and muscle strength (measured in Watts) to be evaluated by questionnaire Womac by Balance Master System and the Biodex isokinetic respectively. It is expected that there is a change of classification of the questionnaire Womac pre and post-intervention, which occurs a decrease of the oscillation center of pressure of at least 10% (improvement in postural control) measured by Master balance and increased strength and muscular strength of at least 10% pre- and post-intervention. | — |
