Effectiveness of Muscle Energy Technique and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation in Knee Osteoarthritis

This study was undertaken to determine the effectiveness of techniques such as muscle energy technique and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation in reduction pain levels, improvement flexibility hamstring functional mobility, patients with osteoarthritis knee. An experimental carried out using a pre test post design. The Krishna Hospital, Karad sample size 36 individuals suffering from knee random sampling method. Individuals Osteoarthritis within age group 40-60 years have been included. collected data analysed paired unpaired ‘t’ tests. When analysed, results showed that Group A B receiving PNF stretching MET respectively, levels measured NPRS shows more A(7.66 ±1.02 ) compared (3.44 ±0.92).
