Factors such as weight gain, lack of mobility, balance issues, and pain can lead to a more sedentary lifestyle, which, in turn, causes knee stiffness or knee limited ROM. As a result, the patient will be at higher risk of osteoporosis, patellofemoral pain syndrome, reduced quadriceps strength, heart disease, and even depression. Clinical Question<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> Is mobilization with movement (MWM) an effective method of treatment for reducing knee pain and increasing knee ROM in individuals being treated for knee pain and limited knee ROM? Summary of Key Findings<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> (1)\u00a0The literature searched were peer-reviewed articles that investigated the effects of MWM as a therapy to reduce knee pain and increase knee ROM. (2)\u00a0MWM was shown to be an effective treatment for reducing knee pain and increasing knee ROM. Clinical Bottom Line<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> There is conclusive evidence that MWM is an effective method of treatment for reducing knee pain and increasing knee ROM in individuals who experience knee pain and knee limited ROM. Strength of Recommendation<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> Grade (\u201cA\u201d) evidence exists showing that MWM therapy results are greater when performed either alone or in combination with a current conventional therapy for decreasing knee pain and increasing knee ROM.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/jsr.2021-0294","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,20]],"date-time":"2022-06-20T23:38:07Z","timestamp":1655768287000},"page":"950-953","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Mobilization With Movement as Therapy to Reduce Knee Pain and Increase Knee Range of Motion"],"prefix":"10.1123","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Steve","family":"Plummer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Concordia University, Chicago, IL, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julie","family":"Leonard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Concordia University, Chicago, IL, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"100","reference":[{"key":"r1","series-title":"Pain Res Manag","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"8815682","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/8815682","article-title":"Effectiveness of mobilization with movement on the management of knee osteoarthritis: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials","volume":"2021","author":"Weleslassie GG","year":"2021","unstructured":"Weleslassie GG, Temesgen MH, Alamer A, Tsegay GS, Hailemariam TT, Melese H.
