The present study was undertaken to find whether neuromuscular stimulation of vastus medialis oblique (VMO) in combination with Maitland\u2019s mobilization and exercises was more effective as compared to Maitland\u2019s mobilization with exercises alone in patients with knee OA.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n Sixty patients with knee OA were purposively selected and randomly distributed to two groups that received an intervention for eight weeks. Group A patients received Maitland\u2019s mobilization in combination with exercises and group B patients received the same intervention as group A in combination with neuromuscular stimulation of VMO muscle. After eight weeks, outcome measures, i.e<\/jats:italic>. Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) index, were reassessed.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n Both groups
