Methodology

20 Patients took for the research study, they divided into two groups. Group A-10 Patients has given McConnell Patella taping, Group B-10 patients has given mobilization with movement, For both the groups each treatment session may last for 15-20minutes 4 days a week.

Result

As the results indicate, there was statistical significant effects following two techniques i.e. MWM and taping on pain in OA knee patients. Group A (MWM) shows the pre treatment mean of vas 6.1 and post treatment mean value is 2.2. the difference between pre and post treatment is 3.9 with p value <0.0001 i.e. significant
