Interventions

Conventional treatmentOTHER

Conventional protocol that involves simple active and passive range of motion exercises of lower limb with positioning for assistive devices was provided

Progressive resistance exerciseOTHER

The protocol that was applied on the members of (experimental group) are progressive resistance exercises. These passive resistance exercises included Flexion, Extension, Abduction, Adduction of hip; Flexion, Extension of knee; with minimum time in start and minimum quantity of loads, with Thera bands and sandbags,.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Patient Specific Functional Scale for lower extremity functional status

Patient Specific Functional Scale (PSFS) was developed by Stratford et al 1995 as a self-report outcome measure of function that could be used in patients with varying levels of independence. The aim of PSFS is to provide clinicians with a valid, reliable, responsive and efficient outcome measure that would be easy to use and applicable to a large number of clinical presentations. Gives the patient positive re-enforcement that the intervention is effective. Can be used on a wide variety of musculoskeletal and neurological conditions

Time frame: 6th week

Secondary Outcomes

6 minute walk test

The 6 Minute Walk Test is a sub-maximal exercise test used to assess aerobic capacity and endurance. The distance covered over a time of 6 minutes is used as the outcome by which to compare changes in performance capacity.

Time frame: 6th week

sit to stand test

The participant is encouraged to complete as many full stands as possible within 30 seconds. The participant is instructed to fully sit between each stand. While monitoring the participant's performance to ensure proper form, the tester silently counts the completion of each correct stand

Time frame: 6th Week
