Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare effects of retro walking exercise versus forward walking using lower body positive pressure on knee pain, physical function, and quadriceps muscle strength in people with mild to moderate knee OA. The secondary aim is to compare effects of retro walking exercise versus forward walking using lower body positive pressure on mobility function, balance, and self-reported health outcomes in people with mild to moderate knee OA. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does retro walking exercise improve knee pain, physical function and Quadriceps muscle strength compared to forward walking exercise using lower body positive pressure in people with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis? * Does retro walking exercise improve Mobility function, balance, and self-reported health outcomes compared to forward walking exercise using lower body positive pressure in people with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis? Participants will walk (retro versus forward) on a lower body positive pressure treadmill. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare \[retro walking compares to forward walking\] to see if \[improve in knee pain, physical function, and quadriceps muscles strength\]
