Objective To determine the relative effectiveness of mulligan bent leg raising compared to slump stretching in the treatment of patient with low back pain.
Materials and Method: This study was conducted on physically active subject of low back pain. They were randomly assigned into two equal groups. The pre-test measurements were taken for both the groups for range of passive SLR and Pain. The group A got Mulligan BLR and group B got slump stretching for the period of 4 weeks. After the end of 4 weeks post test measurement taken as similar to the pre-test measurement and the result obtained were compared.
Result: Results of the study shows that both the techniques MBLR and SLUMP are effective in reducing pain and alter the ROM of PSLR. However MBLR group shows greater improvement in pain and ROM of PSLR, then the SLUMP group in patient with Low Back Pain.
Conclusion: According to the results of present study MBLR tech is significantly reduce pain and improve ROM of PSLR then the slump technique. Improvement of pain and PSLR range, by the MBLR technique, might be due to mobilization of the painful, sensitized, nerve tissues.

Objective: To compare the effect of agility and perturbation training with conventional exercises and conventional exercises alone in improving functional status in physically active individuals with knee osteoarthritis
Materials and Method: This study is to be conducted with 60 physically active subjects of knee osteoarthritis and were randomly assigned into two equal groups (experimental and control group).The pre-test measurements is taken for both the groups with WOMAC SCALE and TIMED GET UP AND GO TEST. Then group A (experimental group) allotted for agility and perturbation training and group B (control group) allotted for conventional exercise for the period of 6 weeks. After the end of 6 weeks post-test measurements taken as similar to the pre-test measurement and the result obtained are compared.
Out come measures: Western Ontario McMaster University Scale Timed get Up and go Test
Result: Result of the study concluded that there is a significant difference in both the groups. However, the agility and perturbation group showed much significant differences in improving the functional status of OA subjects as compared with the control group.
Conclusion: According to the results of present study agility and perturbation exercises significantly improving the functional status of OA subjects as compared with the control group.
Adding agility and perturbation training techniques to exercise programs has a significant effect on knee stability and general function in older individuals with knee OA as observed for younger, athletic individuals.
