Interventions

OTHER

Mulligan's Squeeze Technique - manual therapy

This technique was introduced by Brian R. Mulligan. In this technique the therapist places thumb along the tender joint margin and applies force centrally. The patient actively flexes knee and therapist progressively enhances force and at end applies overpressure. This force is decreased as knee moves towards extension. This method helps to maintain the meniscus in its normal position and corrects the derangement of meniscus.

OTHER

Conventional Physiotherapy

It includes stretching and strengthening exercises of muscles of the knee joint.
