BACKGROUND: Flatfoot produces a relative flattening of the plantar surface. Pain in medial
longitudinal arch and the ankle are frequent. GD Maitland introduces the concept of passive oscillatory
mobilization for physiology and additional movements. Mulligan procedures were created to address joint
'tracking' issues or 'positional defects,' i.e. joints with modest biomechanical alterations.AIM: To compare
the effects of Maitland mobilization and MWM in Midtarsal joint on pain and discomfort in participants
with Flatfoot, STUDY DESIGN: Comparative Study METHOD: The committee approved ethical
clearance for comparative study. Samples were collected using a random number generator. Through
inclusion and exclusion criteria, 30 participants were selected. Following an explanation of the
treatment's details, participants' written consent was obtained. Group A received Maitland Mobilization,
while Group B received MWM for 4 days/week. OUTCOME MEASURE: NPRS, FADI, Goniometer (Smart
Protractor App) RESULTS: The data was analyzed using SPSS Version 22. The group A receiving
conventional therapy with Maitland's mobilization score of NPRS (pre=6.067±0.703, post=3±0.926),
FADI (pre= 53.8±1.373, post= 74±1.558), and ROM (DF, pre=48.9±8.9, post=15.867±1.06) was not a
statistically significant advantage to group B receiving conventional therapy with MWM score of NPRS
(pre=5.4±1.404,post=1.933±0.798), FADI (pre=54.6±2.197, post=76±1) and ROM ( DF, pre=13±1.927,
post=17±1.603). CONCLUSIONS: MWM along with conventional exercise was effective to reduce pain,
ROM and improve ADLs in Flatfoot.
