Interventions

OTHER

Paraffin wax bath therapy and Maitland joint mobilization techniques

In group A Patients will be treated with paraffin wax bath 20 minutes (before any physical therapy treatment) * (Apply a few drops of olive oil into the skin of the area. Dip/pour knee joint area into the wax and leave it in for a few seconds until a layer forms over the area. Wait for the wax to dry. Repeat this process until you have at least 10 layers of wax area to be treated.) * Joint mobilization technique (8-12 glides at knee joint, mobilization grade-I and grade-II will be used for pain management and relaxation, while grade III for improvement in the PROM at knee joint) will be given 4 times a week for 6 weeks (The patient will be positioned in supine lying with the knee slightly flexed and a prop placed under the distal femur. The stabilizing hand will be used to prop the distal femur and the mobilizing hand is placed over the proximal tibia just below the tibial tuberosity. The mobilization itself will be performed by a force perpendicular to the line of the tibia.)
