Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in combination with Maitland mobilization and conventional physical therapy in patients with chronic knee osteoarthritis.
Design: Pre-test post-test randomized control trial.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Participants: Seventy five subjects of both genders with age range from 50 to 65 years, with proven bilateral knee OA diagnosed and referred by orthopaedist were recruited for the study and randomly assigned into three groups.

Group A
Group A received LLLT and Maitland mobilization technique along with conventional physical therapy,
Low Level laser therapy
is a non-invasive light source treatment that generates a single wavelength of light. It emits no heat, sound, or vibration. It is also called photobiology or bio-stimulation
Maitland mobilization technique
is a process of examination; assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders by manipulative physiotherapy where a chain of oscillatory joint mobilization grades based on the pathological limit of tissue are used
Group B
received LLLT and conventional physical therapy
