No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Pain in knee osteoarthritis (OA) represents increased pain intensity due to peripheral and central sensitivity. Pressure pain threshold (PPT) is a widely applied (used) method for measuring the magnitude of peripheral and central sensitivity in knee OA. Among several manual therapy techniques increasing PPT in knee OA, the effect of end-range mobilization has not been evaluated so far. The aim of this study was to investigate the immediate effect of end-range mobilization compared to placebo on increase of PPT and some function-related measures.
