Treatments tested in this trial

Reflexology ,mulligan mobilization and conventional
Other intervention
Reflexology is a systematic practice in which applying some pressure to any particular points on the feet and hands give impacts on the health of related parts of the body as (Knee reflex point, Pituitary reflex point, Entire spine, Liver reflex area, Thyroid reflex area ) Mulligan's Mobilization with Movement (MWM) apply accessory gliding force combined with active movement as (Lateral glide MWM for flexion / extension, Medial glide MWM for flexion / extension, Self-medial glide MWM for knee flexion/extension: home exercise)
reflexology and conventional
Other intervention
Reflexology as (Knee reflex point, Pituitary reflex point, Entire spine, Liver reflex area, Thyroid reflex area ) and conventional methods as (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), Ultrasound Therapy and exercises) treatment.
mulligan mobilization and conventional
Other intervention
Mulligan mobilization as (Lateral glide MWM for flexion / extension, Medial glide MWM for flexion / extension, Self-medial glide MWM for knee flexion/extension: home exercise) and conventional methods as (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), Ultrasound Therapy and exercises) treatment.
Conventional treatment
Other intervention
Conventional methods as (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), Ultrasound Therapy and exercises) treatment.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

visual analogue scale

consists of a line, usually 10 cm long, ranging from no pain or discomfort (zero), to the worst pain that could possibly feel (10)

Time frame

one month

Secondary outcomes

The Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS)

The Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) was developed as an extension of the WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index with the purpose of evaluating short-term and long-term symptoms and function in subjects with knee injury and osteoarthritis. The KOOS holds five separately scored subscales: Pain, other Symptoms, Function in daily living (ADL), Function in Sport and Recreation (Sport/Rec), and knee-related Quality of Life (QOL)

Time frame

one month

Other outcomes

Kinovea

Kinovea is a free software that uses a virtual goniometer to measure joints for measure Flexion and Extension ROM of knee

Time frame

one month
