Warm up (10 minutes with hot pack) and cool down exercises for a period of 5 to 10 minutes was given before starting and after the completion of exercises in supervised exercise program in all the groups. The following ergonomical advice were given to all the subjects, Avoid extreme knee bent positions, avoid squatting, crossed-leg sitting, frequent stair climbing or lifting heavy objects, avoid fatiguing postures except for infrequent short durations tasks, change posture frequently and use support where possible and avoid giving excess strain to the knees. Mulligan mobilisation consisted of Medial glide mobilisation with movement, Lateral glide mobilisation with movement, with active knee flexion (61) depending on the subjects condition. The gliding force was sustained while the patient performed 3 sets of 10 repetitions. Total 12 treatment sessions was given to each subject with the frequency of 3 sessions per week for 4 consecutive weeks.
