Group (B) consisted of 15 patients who received manual stretch 3 times/week for 4 successful weeks. Evaluations of both groups (A and B) were done before starting the treatment and at the end of study after 4 weeks through Goniometer and Foot print to measure range of motion and cadence pre and post treatment. Results: This study showed a statistically difference in knee joint ROM and cadence between both groups. Conclusion: The present study concluded that low load prolonged stretch is more effective than high load brief stretch in treatment of knee contracture after burn
