      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Total 60 participants will be randomly allocated into two groups using computer generated randomization method in which computer software will be utilized to randomly allocate participants in either  group A or Group B. Then it will be concealed in and envelope and participant will be given concealed envelopes. Convenient random sampling technique will be used, Blinding description: It will be Double blinded study as assessor and caregiver will be unaware of the treatment given to patient. Treatment will be carried out in the treatment room with only patient and physiotherapist present and assessor and caregivers will not be given any information on which technique they applied to the participant. In this way they will be blinded.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Control group: will receive Routine physical therapy. In routine physical therapy stabilization exercises of knee along with other exercises will be performed which includes quads sets exercises, side lying leg lift, straight leg raise, step up, wall squats. Intervention 2: Intervention group: will receive flossing exercises along with the routine physical therapy. Floss band will be used for this purpose.</i_freetext>
