Physical therapy can help reduce the pain, swelling and stiffness of knee osteoarthritis and it can help improve knee joint function. The present attempt has been aimed to find out the effective therapy from both selected techniques i.e. Maitland mobilization and conventional physiotherapy exercises prevalent among physiotherapists for pain management as well as to formulate and develop some measures and clinical guidelines for better treatment in practices and recommendations for younger generation for prevention of the problem of osteoarthritis. The study concluded from the results that in both the groups i.e. Group A and Group B there is a significant improvement in the patient\u2019s condition in terms of pain as per VAS, KSS & FKSS.\u00a0 The study also concluded that in Group A the improvement in pain level is better than the improvement level in Group B which means that Maitland mobilization technique gives better results when compared to the conventional physiotherapy exercises in case of Knee Osteoarthritis. Study concluded that in both the groups i.e. Group A and Group B, WOMAC score reduced significantly after treatment which means both the interventions were equally beneficial for the patients with Knee Osteoarthritis. Study concluded that both the interventions i.e. Maitland Mobilization and conventional physiotherapy techniques made significant impact upon the patient\u2019s condition in both the Groups in terms of Flexion of Knee joint.<\/p>\n KEYWORDS: <\/strong>Maitland Mobilization, Conventional Physiotherapy Exercises & Knee Osteoartritis.<\/p>\n REFERENCES<\/strong><\/p>\n \n\t\t\t Type of Article:\u00a0\u00a0Original Research Volume 6; Issue 6 (December 2018) Page No.:\u00a02952-2956 DOI:\u00a0https:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.16965\/ijpr.2018.193 EFFECT OF MAITLAND MOBILIZATION AND CONVENTIONAL PHYSIOTHERAPY EXERCISES IN OSTEOARTHRITIS KNEE: A COMPARATIVE STUDY Manoj Shukla *1, Mukesh Goyal 2. *1 Research Scholar, Tantia University, SriGanganagar, Rajasthan, India. 2 Principal, Tantia University, SriGanganagar, Rajasthan, India.\u00a0 Address for Correspondence:\u00a0 Dr. Manoj Shukla, Research\n
