Study Overview
Brief Summary
Knee pain is one of the most usual pain that commonly affects people especially in the late age. It can be caused by osteoarthritis, poor posture or sitting position, bad bending or improper lifting. It is usually not caused by a serious illness. It is the most common cause of disability. To compare the long term effects of Mulligan Mobilization with Movement versus Macquarie Injury Management Group on pain and function of knee osteoarthritis.
Detailed Description
It was a randomized clinical trial conducted in Revival Physiotherapy Center, Lahore. A convenient sample of 26 diagnosed patients with osteoarthritis was included in the study. Subjects were randomly distributed in to two groups with use of flip coin method Group of randomization. Group 1 patients got MIMG with routine physical therapy and Group 2 got MWM with routine physical therapy. Visual analogue Scale (VAS),Non modified WOMAC were used to assess all patients before and after 4 weeks of intervention. Statistical analysis was computed by SPSS 20.0.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Visual Analogue scale
Time Frame: 6 months
The visual analog scale (VAS) is a validated, subjective measure for acute and chronic pain. Scores are recorded by making a handwritten mark on a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between "no pain" and "worst pain."
WOMAC
Time Frame: 6 months
The scores for each subscale are summed up, with a possible score range of 0-20 for Pain, 0-8 for Stiffness, and 0-68 for Physical Function. Usually a sum of the scores for all three subscales gives a total WOMAC score, however there are other methods that have been used to combine scores.
Secondary Outcomes
No secondary outcomes reported
