Effect of Different Mobilization Techniques With Common Use of Interferential Therapy in Patients With Knee OA

Maitland's mobilization technique was performed on the patients with its all components, such as 1. Distraction 2. Anteroposterior glides 3. Posteroanterior glides 4. Medial glides and 5. Lateral glides.

Mulligan's mobilization technique was performed on the patients with its all components using a therapeutic belt, such as 1. Medial mobilization with movement (MWM) for Knee flexion 2. Medial mobilization with movement (MWM) for Knee extension 3. Lateral mobilization with movement (MWM) for Knee flexion 4. Lateral mobilization with movement (MWM) for Knee extension.

Interferential Therapy was performed on the patients with the following parameters: career frequency 4000Hz; waveform: rectangular; sweep time: 1 second rise and fall and 5 second stay; Treatment duration: 10 minutes; sweep frequency: 10 to 130 Hz. The current intensity was adjusted until the subject reported feeling a strong tingling sensation without causing muscle contraction. A aquatic gel was applied before straping the electopads over treatment area for smooth electrical conduction.
