Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the comparative effects of hold relax technique and mulligan mobilization on pain, ROM and function in post operative knee joint.

Detailed description

Stiffness or restricted ROM of the knee joint is a term used commonly to describe any traumatic condition occurring within or around the knee joint. It can result from direct and indirect below and is experienced as pain with activity, local tenderness to palpation, and decreased ability to tolerate tension, which results in decreased movement and functional strength. Post-traumatic knee stiffness and loss of range of motion is a common complication of injuries to the knee area. Immobilization of human knees for several weeks or more can result in stiffness and loss of range of motion in the joints. After knee arthroplasties, cruciate ligament repairs and trauma may lead to contracture of muscles and knee instability. Limitations of joint movements both flexion and extension suggests intraarticular pathology.

Conditions

• Post Operative Pain

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Mulligan Mobilization	Medial glide MWM for knee flexion (supine) Lateral glide MWM for knee flexion (supine) Medial glide MWM for knee flexion.( prone ) Lateral glide MWM for knee flexion (prone)
OTHER	Hold Relax	Hold-relax technique of PNF included, the affected knee will be flexed passively to the end of range with the therapist's hand on the patient's lower leg. Patients then performed 5 s of quadriceps contraction against the resistance of the therapist. Patients will be asked not to let move. At the end of 5 s, the patients will be asked to totally relax for 10 s and the therapist pushed the knee into more flexion and hold at that newly acquired range
