ABSTRACT: Background: Arthritis is a disease that causes inflammation in one or more of your joints. Pain, swelling, and stiffness are the most frequent symptoms of arthritis. The disease can affect any joint in the body, but it is especially common in the knee. Osteoarthritis progresses over time, and the pain it causes worsens. Nearly 6% of all adults suffer from osteoarthritis. Women are impacted more than males [1]. Purpose: Osteoarthritis can lead to pain and loss of function. The popular belief that if you have osteoarthritis, you should take it easy on your knees is incorrect: strong muscles stabilize and protect joints. Exercise ensures that the cartilage in the joints receives nutrition. Decreased strength in the muscle group involving the joints which it causes significant progressive loss of func¬tion. Women are symptomatically evaluated with severe knee OA than men and sex differences increase with age > 55 years [2]. A lot of study has been conducted on the effect of Maitland mobilization and hip abductor strengthening exercise separately on pain and increase in the movements in the patients with osteoarthritis knee joint. However what would be the effect if the above mentioned treatment techniques are given in combination is not worked on. Method: The sample size taken was 78 as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The outcome measures used were Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), The Oxford scale for MMT, NPRS for pain. Pre and post intervention scores were measured/as sessed. Result: Baseline data such as NPRS; MMT; KOOS were documented before and after intervention and R software was used to find out the significant difference in pain and functional outcome pre and post Maitland Mobilization and static strengthening in osteoarthritis knee. The data were compared using paired t-test. The findings showed significant statistical significance of the observed difference in each outcome measure with p<0.001. Conclusion: It was inferred that for individuals with knee osteoarthritis, isometric strengthening exercises, Maitland manual therapy reduced pain intensity, improved joint functioning, and enabled activities of daily living with better efficiency.
