A study conducted since 2022 evaluated the comparative effects of muscle energy and mobilization with movement techniques for knee pain, Range of motion and functional disability in patients with knee Osteoarthritis.A randomized clinical trial was conducted at Physiotherapy Department of Bakhtawar Amin College of Rehabilitation Sciences, Multan. Patients of age 40-60 years with active pain for more than 3 months diagnosed with Grade I, II and III of knee osteoarthritis by orthopedic surgeon according to Kellgren and Lawrence Scale and on basis of radiograph were included. Patients with knee osteoarthritis of grade IV, history of fracture dislocation or radiating pain were excluded. Sixty-eight (68) patients were equally divided in two groups Mulligan group and METs group. Pain intensity was 0.19 (p\<0.01), WOMAC score was 0.007(p\<0.01) Knee flexion was 0.110(P\<0.995) and Knee extension deficit score was 0.087 (P\<0.998). Coefficient alpha for with in group subject effect for pain, functional disability and knee flexion and extension deficit is (P≤0.05). Both techniques post isometric relaxation technique of METs and mobilization with movement technique of Mulligans significantly reduced pain, functional disability and symptoms .

Since 2022 conducted a study to find out find whether neuromuscular stimulation of vastus medialis oblique (VMO) in combination with Maitland's mobilization and exercises was more effective as compared to Maitland's mobilization with exercises alone in patients with knee OA. Sixty patients with knee OA were purposively selected and randomly distributed to two groups that received an intervention for eight weeks. Group A patients received Maitland's mobilization in combination with exercises and group B patients received the same intervention as group A in combination with neuromuscular stimulation of VMO muscle. Both groups showed significant (P\<0.05) within-group improvement in the knee pain levels and stiffness as reflected by NPRS and WOMAC index.

Another study conducted in 2020 investigate the effectiveness of Mulligan's mobilization with movement (MWM) and Myofascial release on pain, range of motion and functional abilities in patients with knee osteoarthritis. A purposive sample of 30 patients from two major hospitals of Faisalabad was randomly divided into two treatment groups. Group A, received Mulligan's MWM and group B received Myofascial release. Electrotherapy and exercise program was the same for both groups. The interventional program was of two weeks (five days a week, once a day). lease were effective for knee osteoarthritis in terms of pain, range of motion, and for functional abilities. However, Mulligan's MWM produced more quick outcomes than Myofascial release.

One study conducted in 2019 study is to determine the outcome and efficacy of Mulligan's mobilization with movement (MWM) with Maitland mobilization along with conventional therapy in the patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). randomized controlled trial study was performed at the Department of Physiotherapy, Mayo Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan. Sixty-two patients were selected for the study. MWM was introduced in half of the patients and Maitland mobilizations in the second half for 2 weeks.
