Aim of Study: ?To find out the effect of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization tool in OA knee patient?. Methodology: The study design is experimental study. The study was conducted in DR.B.R. Ambedkar College of physiotherapy with 20 samples by getting their consent who met inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria.20 patients were divided into two groups Group A and Group B. Visual analogue scale and active knee flexion range of motion using goniometry were used as outcome measure pre and post treatment. Results: The result obtained shows that group A has more improvement statistically than group B, clinically in terms of pain and active knee flexion range of motion. The result shows significant improvement in VAS and active Knee flexion range of motion from pre to post with p<0.001. Conclusion: The present study concluded that Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization tool (IASTM) is effective in osteoarthritis knee patients.
