“…The patient reacted favourably to the combination of neural mobilization and posture correction activities. 19 The study has favoured the results of current study by showing that aberrant neurodynamics might contribute to knee pain and patients with lateral knee pain due to improper neurodynamics may benefit from neural mobilization. Another study had consistent findings with our study in which neurodynamics were found effective in treating neuropathy.…”

“…Another study evaluated the effect of neural mobilization for the knee pain, but the study differs from our study with regards to side of knee undertaken for analyzing the effects of treatment. The current study evaluated nerve mobilization for medial knee pain in healthy females, whereas the study by Arulsingh, et al (2021) determined effectiveness of neural mobilization in combination with posture corrective exercises in a lateral knee pain patient. 19 The study by Arulsingh, et al (2021) was a case report in which patient was treated with neural mobilization, supplemented with postural correction exercises.…”

Background: Medial knee pain is reported due to adductor tightness in young females. Nerve supply of adductors of thigh is obturator nerve. Compression of obturator nerve is one of the reasons to generate medial knee pain. Objectives: To evaluate the effect of obturator nerve mobilization for treating medial knee joint pain in young females. Material and Methodology: A quantitative, randomized clinical trial was conducted comprising of sample of 30 patients. Patients were allocated into control group and treatment group randomly by using lottery method. Hot pack and adductor release was given as baseline treatment in both groups. Treatment group received obturator nerve release in addition. Visual analogue scale, Q angle and lower extremity functional scale was used as outcome measures. Results: Data was analyzed by SPSS V.20. Independent sample t-test was used for inter-group analysis, paired sample t-test and repeated measurement ANOVA test was used for intra-group analysis. Significant decrease in medial knee joint pain, Q-angle and lower extremity functional score was reported in treatment group with p value <0.05. Association of BMI with pain and Q angle was found non-significant with p value >0.05. Conclusion: Obturator nerve neurodyanamics showed significant improvement in treating medial knee joint pain in young females. No association was found of BMI with pain and Q angle. Keywords: Young adult, female, Obturator nerve, Nerve compression syndromes, Neurodynamics

“…Rehabilitation, a form of conservative therapy, reportedly reduces pain and restores physical function in patients with knee OA [12,13]. Rehabilitation for medial and lateral meniscus injuries has been reported to be effective in the short and long term [14][15][16]. However, the difference in the effects of rehabilitation according to the degree of damage to the medial and lateral menisci (e.g., vertical, longitudinal, radial, and posterior horn tears) remains unclear.…”

Meniscus tear is the most common type of injury to the meniscus and occurs more frequently on the medial compartments than the lateral compartments. Further, it is often caused by trauma or degenerative processes and can occur anywhere on either the meniscus, anterior horn, posterior horn, or midbody. Treatment of meniscus injuries is likely to greatly impact the evolution of osteoarthritis (OA) as meniscus injuries can gradually progress to knee OA. Hence, treatment of these injuries is important for managing the progression of OA. While the types of meniscus injuries and symptoms have been reported previously, the effectiveness of rehabilitation according to the degree of meniscus injury (e.g., vertical, longitudinal, radial, and posterior horn tears) remains unknown. In this review, we aimed to investigate whether rehabilitation for knee OA associated with isolated meniscus injuries varies with the degree of injury and determine the effects of rehabilitation on outcomes. We searched PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Web of Science, and Physiotherapy Evidence Database for studies published before September 2021. Studies on ≥40-year-old patients with knee OA and isolated meniscus injury were included for analysis. The types of meniscus injury were classified as longitudinal, radial, transverse, flap, combined, or avulsion of the anterior and posterior roots of the medial meniscus, and assigned knee arthropathy grades of 0-4 according to the Kellgren-Lawrence classification. The exclusion criteria were meniscus injury, combined meniscus and ligament injury, and knee OA associated with combined injury in patients <40 years of age. There were no restrictions on the region, race, or gender of participants, or language or research format of the studies. The outcome measures were the Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, Western Ontario and
