Knee osteoarthritis is a progressive degenerative and non-inflammatory joint disorder. Due to the extensive use and stress placed on knee joint, it is a common site for painful disorders such as knee osteoarthritis. It is seen that medial side of knee is most commonly affected because of weight bearing on medial side. Symptomatically, the knee joint is most commonly affected in osteoarthritis because it requires support, high mobility, and insufficient internal stability. Osteoarthritis of the knee joint affects three parts of the knee joint (medial, lateral, and patellar-femoral joints) and develops slowly, usually over 10-15 years, interfering with daily activities Slow and gentle movements like Tai Chi, Isometric, iso-kinetic and isotonic exercises are considered helpful in increasing joint range of motion and physical function. Stretching and aquatic therapy can also decrease pain and enhance joint flexibility. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of Mulligan rotational movement vs Medial gapping technique on pain, range of motion and disability in knee osteoarthritis.
This study will be a randomized control trial and will be conducted in Riphah clinics and LGH. The study will be completed within the time duration of six months. Non-probability convenient sampling technique will be used to collect the data. Those who will meet the inclusion criteria will be recruited in the group. The sample size of patients with knee osteoarthritis will be taken in this study to find the effects of Mulligan Rotational movements vs. Medial gap technique, aged between 20-40 years, will be allocated to an intervention or control group. The scales used for recording findings will be goniometer, visual analogue scale and modified disability index. Subjects will randomly divide into control group called group A Taking Mulligan therapy and Interventional group called group B taking Median Gapping Technique. 12 sessions over 6 weeks were performed on both groups. Data analysis will be done by SPSS version 25.

| NPRS | The Numeric pain rating scale is a tool that is used to measure pain.it has a range from 1-10 | 6 weeks |
| GONIOMETR | Goniometer to measure range of motion. Goniometer is a tool to measure the flexibility of a joint, which is important for injury prevention and execution of many therapeutic movements. | 6 weeks |
| Disability Index Scale | Disability Index Scale to measure disability that consist of 10 items, concerning intensity of pain, lifting, ability to care for oneself, ability to walk, ability to sit, sexual function, ability to stand, social life, sleep quality, and ability to travel. Each topic category is followed by 6 statements describing different potential scenarios in the patient's life relating to the topic. The patient then checks the statement which most closely resembles their situation. Each question is scored on a scale of 0-5 with the first statement being zero and indicating the least amount of disability and the last statement is scored 5 indicating most severe disability. The scores for all questions answered are summed, then multiplied by two to obtain the index (range 0 to 100). Zero is equated with no disability and 100 is the maximum disability possible. | 6 weeks |
