“…However, in within- and between-group analysis of pre- and posttreatment, there was statistical significance in all outcome measures. In contrast, a study conducted by Kandada andHeggannavar [ 32 ] showed that the intergroup analysis shows an insignificant difference in all the outcome measures. But, the intragroup comparison shows a significant difference in pain reduction, functional improvement, and knee ROM.…”

“…Out of these, eight trials reported that MWM has positive effects on joint range of motion for OA patients compared to the control groups [ 5 , 31 , 33 , 36 , 38 , 40 , 43 , 44 ]. Conversely, only one study reported that the MWM group had no improvement of knee ROM compared to the control group [ 32 ].…”

“…Out of these trials, thirteen of them had reported that MWM has positive effects on functional activities in OA patients compared to the control groups [ 5 , 31 , 33 – 39 , 41 , 43 , 44 ]. However, two studies reported that the MWM group had no significant effect on knee functional status in patients with knee OA [ 32 , 40 ].…”

“…Out of the 15 included trials, 14 of them reported that knee pain was significantly improved in the MWM groups compared to the control group [5,31,[33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44]. Only one study reported that the MWM group had no improvement in knee pain compared to the control groups [32].…”

Background. Osteoarthritis is becoming a global major cause of pain and functional disability worldwide, especially in the elderly population. Nowadays, evidence shows that mobilization with movement (MWM) has a beneficial effect on knee osteoarthritis subjects. However, its adequacy remains unclear. Objective. To review the best available evidence for the effectiveness of MWMs on pain reduction and functional improvement in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Methods. A comprehensive search of literature was conducted using the following electronic databases: Google Scholar, PubMed, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), Science Direct, Cochrane Library, and Scopus. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included, and the methodological quality of the studies was appraised using the PEDro scale. It was reported according to the guideline of the PRISMA statement. Results. A total of 15 RCTs having 704 participants were included. The present systematic review suggests that there were significant differences between MWM groups and control groups in terms of visual analogue scale (VAS), Western Ontario and MacMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scale, and flexion range of motion. Conclusions. This systematic review demonstrated that MWM was effective to improve pain, range of motion, and functional activities in subjects with knee osteoarthritis.
