Effect of Mulligans Mobilization With Movement in Osteoarthritis Knee.

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Osteo Arthritis Knee

• Registration Number: NCT05577403
• Lead Sponsor: Majmaah University

Brief Summary

To evaluate the effect of Mulligan's mobilization with movement in osteoarthritis of the knee.

Detailed Description

Patients with knee OA diagnosed at the orthopaedic clinic of Tumair general hospital and referred to the physiotherapy department who attended the rehabilitation centre of Majmaah university will be recruited.

Patients will be excluded if they had knee or hip injury, sensory deficits in the lower extremity, a history of lower-extremity surgery, or a history of a quadriceps or hamstring muscle injury, had low back-related leg pain, or had any contraindication to manual therapy.

The protocol was submitted to and approved by the Majmaah University Research Ethics committee (MUREC Dec.2/ COM-2021/19-3)

Participants will be requested to sign a written informed consent form approved by the institutional ethics committee. A total of 60 participants were randomly assigned to group A (experimental group): Mulligan's mobilization with movement MWM added isometric strength training, and group B (control group): Sham MWM added isometric strength training. Pre and post-test readings were taken at baseline, week 2, and week 4, respectively. The outcome measures for this study will be maximal voluntary isometric contraction of quadriceps strength (measured by ISOMOVE dynamometer), ROM, and Western Ontario and McMaster universities osteoarthritis (WOMAC) index.
