Sponsor's own description

Knee osteoarthritis is a progressive degenerative and non-inflammatory joint disorder. Due to the extensive use and stress placed on knee joint, it is a common site for painful disorders such as knee osteoarthritis. It is seen that medial side of knee is most commonly affected because of weight bearing on medial side. Symptomatically, the knee joint is most commonly affected in osteoarthritis because it requires support, high mobility, and insufficient internal stability. Osteoarthritis of the knee joint affects three parts of the knee joint (medial, lateral, and patellar-femoral joints) and develops slowly, usually over 10-15 years, interfering with daily activities Slow and gentle movements like Tai Chi, Isometric, iso-kinetic and isotonic exercises are considered helpful in increasing joint range of motion and physical function. Stretching and aquatic therapy can also decrease pain and enhance joint flexibility. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of Mulligan rotational movement vs Medial gapping technique on pain, range of motion and disability in knee osteoarthritis.

This study will be a randomized control trial and will be conducted in Riphah clinics and LGH. The study will be completed within the time duration of six months. Non-probability convenient sampling technique will be used to collect the data. Those who will meet the inclusion criteria will be recruited in the group. The sample size of patients with knee osteoarthritis will be taken in this study to find the effects of Mulligan Rotational movements vs. Medial gap technique, aged between 20-40 years, will be allocated to an intervention or control group. The scales used for recording findings will be goniometer, visual analogue scale and modified disability index. Subjects will randomly divide into control group called group A Taking Mulligan therapy and Interventional group called group B taking Median Gapping Technique. 12 sessions over 6 weeks were performed on both groups. Data analysis will be done by SPSS version 25.
