Knee Mobilization at Mid vs End Range for Osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a gentle knee movement therapy (Maitland's mobilization) applied at different points in the knee's range of motion. It may help reduce pain and stiffness for people with moderate knee osteoarthritis.

This study tests two hands-on treatments for knee osteoarthritis: foot massage (reflexology) and gentle joint movement (Mulligan mobilization). It may help reduce pain and improve knee function.
This study compares two hands-on therapy techniques (Mulligan and Kaltenborn mobilizations) to see which works better for reducing pain and improving movement in people with knee osteoarthritis. If you have mild to moderate knee pain and are between 40 and 70, this trial may help you find a gentler treatment option.
This study compares doing joint mobilization exercises on your own versus having a clinician do them, in addition to regular knee strengthening exercises. The goal is to see if self-treatment is as effective for managing knee osteoarthritis pain and stiffness.
