简要总结
A randomized control trial will be conducted at the outpatient department of Dow Institute of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. A sample size of 80 is calculated using PASS version 11 software. The subjects will be first screened and those who fulfill the inclusion criteria, will be asked to fill the consent form. After selection, the participants will be randomly allocated by the help of computer generated randomization sheet, into two groups i.e. experimental and the control group. The group A will be provided with the myofascial release along with the neuromuscular training whereas the group B will only receive the neuromuscular training. Cold pack will be applied to both the groups. The neuromuscular training consists of warm-up phase, lunges, sideways exercises, wall squats, weight transfer exercises, step up and down and the cool down phase. Total 12 sessions of 35 minutes each will be given to all the participants for about 4 weeks on alternate days. Outcome measures will be analyzed by visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain assessment, goniometry for range of motion and the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) to evaluate the functional assessment of the patients at the baseline and the post intervention.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in pain intensity on visual analogue scale after four weeks
时间窗: Baseline and 4 weeks
The Visual Analogue Scale is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity, used to record patients' pain progression, or compare pain severity between pains with similar conditions.. It is 0 to 10 cm scale. Patients rate their pain on that scale. Higher the score in centimeter, severe will be the pain experienced.
Change in range of motion assessed with universal goniometer after four weeks
时间窗: Baseline and 4 weeks
The Goniometer is an instrument for the precise measurement of range of movement angles in degree , especially one used to measure the angles before and after range of motion.. Increase in the degree of angle suggests increase in range of movement.
次要结局
- Change in functional disability assessed with Knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score after four weeks.(Baseline and 4 weeks)
