Intervention model description: There will be two groups of participant. One group will receive MWM along with conventional therapy and the second group group will receive Mulligan knee taping along with conventional therapy.
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: This study intends to determine the effects of MWM verses Mulligan knee taping on patellofemoral pain syndrome.

Detailed description: This is a single blinded randomized controlled trial, will be conducted at Pakistan railway general hospital Rawalpindi. Both MWM and Mulligan knee taping Techniques are used in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome. Sample size of 34 individuals was calculated through Open Epi tool version 3 with 95 % confidence interval (CI), and power 80%. 34 individuals were screened out on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Individuals of this selected population were randomly allocated as 17 individuals in MWM (straight leg raise with traction and tibial gliding) group and 17 individuals Mulligan knee taping group by sealed envelope method. And after this Both groups will receive conventional therapy.

Assesment will be done at baseline, 2nd week and after 6 weeks Data will be analyzed on SPSS version 21.
