Brief Summary
The aim of this study was to compare the effect of band tissue flossing method and traditional cuff method for blood flow restriction training on pain, range of motion, muscle strength and functional status in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Symptoms of this condition limit patient's ability to perform high load strengthening. Blood flow restraining training allows strengthening with lower loads. 46 subjects will be divided in two groups, 23 subjects in each group. knee extension and knee press exercises will be performed. In group A floss band was tied on thigh and in group B pneumatic cuff was applied on thigh. 40-60 years individual with knee osteoarthritis will be included. outcome measures will be assessed at baseline, after 1st session, after 2nd week and after 4th week.
