Abstract:- Background & Objective: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease causing disability. Current physical therapy management for knee OA is aiming to increase range of motion and improve functional performance. The purpose of this study is to find out the effectiveness of mobilization technique either Mulligan’s Mobilization or Maitland Mobilization for improving the unilateral tibiofemoral joint ROM and functional performance in of unilateral osteoarthritis. Methods: Sixty subjects with osteoarthritis of Tibiofemoral joint were selected for the study and randomly divided in to three groups of 20 subjects. Group A received Mulligan mobilization, Group B received Maitland Mobilization and Group C received conventional treatment. ROM was measured by Goniometry and functional performance was measured by WOMAC scale pre and post treatment by blinded tester. Results: Intragroup comparison of ROM showed significant improvement in three group but Mulligan group showed very highly significant (p< 0.001) improvement. WOMAC score showed significant (p=0.005) improvement in all three groups. Conclusion: In this study all groups have shown significant difference in improving ROM, and improving functional performance but mulligan group showed more improvement than Maitland group and control group.
