Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to determine the comparison of Graston technique versus muscle energy technique to improve hamstring flexibility and ADL among patient of knee O.A.

Conditions

Knee Osteoarthritis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• knee osteoarthritis

  Comparison of Graston technique versus muscle energy technique among patient of knee osteoarthritis.

  6 Months

Study Arms (2)

Graston technique.

EXPERIMENTAL

The Graston Technique is a form of manual therapy known as soft-tissue instrument-assisted mobilization

Diagnostic Test: Graston technique

muscle energy technique

EXPERIMENTAL

Muscle Energy Technique (MET), uses a muscle's own energy in the form of gentle isometric contractions to relax the muscles via autogenic or reciprocal inhibition and lengthen the muscle

Diagnostic Test: muscle energy technique
