Reflexology and Mulligan Mobilization for Knee Osteoarthritis

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Reflexology ,mulligan mobilization and conventional: Reflexology is a systematic practice in which applying some pressure to any particular points on the feet and hands give impacts on the health of related parts of the body as (Knee reflex point, Pituitary reflex point, Entire spine, Liver reflex area, Thyroid reflex area ) Mulligan's Mobilization with Movement (MWM) apply accessory gliding force combined with active movement as (Lateral glide MWM for flexion / extension, Medial glide MWM for flexion / extension, Self-medial glide MWM for knee flexion/extension: home exercise)

reflexology and conventional: Reflexology as (Knee reflex point, Pituitary reflex point, Entire spine, Liver reflex area, Thyroid reflex area ) and conventional methods as (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), Ultrasound Therapy and exercises) treatment.

mulligan mobilization and conventional: Mulligan mobilization as (Lateral glide MWM for flexion / extension, Medial glide MWM for flexion / extension, Self-medial glide MWM for knee flexion/extension: home exercise) and conventional methods as (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), Ultrasound Therapy and exercises) treatment.

Conventional treatment: Conventional methods as (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), Ultrasound Therapy and exercises) treatment.
