| Abstrakt: | Present study deals with the difference between thumb pain and hand grip of postgraduate students performing two way Maitland's mobilisation. The test was performed on two groups A and B. In group A, moblisation was performed with the thumbs not supported with index fingers, MCP joints touching and thumbs not overlapping and in group B, moblisations was performed with thumbs not supported with index fingers, MCP joints not touching, thumbs overlapping. Maitland's moblisation grade 2 with 45 ossiclations was performed daily with the time duration of 15 minutes for 20 days continuously. It has been observed that the thumb pain was increased as a result of daily practicing Maitland's moblisation as compared to lumbrical grip strength. It showed that the lumbrical grip was equally reduced in both group A and group B as compared on 0th, 10th and 20th day but the thumb pain was statically significantly increased in group A as compared to B group.
