Maitland mobilization reduces pain, improves range of motion and functional disability. Conventional treatment reduces pain and improves the range of motion of the knee joint. Objective: To study the effects of Maitland mobilization and Conventional treatment on Pain, Range of Motion and function dis ability inpatient with osteoarthritis with a knee. Method: 72 subjects (36 in each group), Interventional study Sample and Sampling Method: 72 subjects were randomly se lected and assigned in two groups, Group A (Maitland mobilization) and Group B (Conventional) in equal numbers. A total num ber of 72 subjects were included in the study as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Results: Results showed statistically significant improvement in both groups for VAS, ROM and functional disability by using student__ampersandsignrsquo;s Paired and unpaired t-test. Group A showed more significant improvement than Group B. Conclusion: In conclusion, Maitland Mobilization and Conventional therapy are more effective than conventional treatment alone in relieving pain, improving range of motion and functional well-being in subjects with knee osteoarthritis.&#13;
