Objectives of the Study: The objective of the study is to know the effect of Muscle Energy Technique on pain and range of motion on OA knee.

Methodology: 30 subjects fulfilled the selection criteria and were selected randomly from Department of physiotherapy, SVIMS, BIRRD, Tirupati. The study conducted for a period of 6 weeks. Two groups comprising of 15 members each were formed. Conventional therapy was given to group I and METS was given to group II. Subjects were evaluated pre and post treatment for VAS and ROM.

Results: To test the significance of the mean difference between the two groups, unpaired t test was done. It is statistically shown that there is some significant impact in the parameters VAS and ROM. The results showed that, experimental group had more significant improvement in all parameters than control group.

Conclusion: Upon analyzing the differences between both the groups further, it was found that experimental group has shown significant improvement when compared to the control group. Hence MET plays an important role on decreasing pain and increasing ROM in OA.
