Inferential therapy
Shortwave diathermy
Interferential therapy will be given using 4 electrode methods. The 'medium frequency' currents (medium frequency in electromedical terms is usually considered to be 1KHz-100KHz). These medium frequency currents, passed through the tissues simultaneously, where they are set up so that their paths cross & they literally interfere with each other. This interaction gives rise to an interference current (or beat frequency) which has the characteristics of low-frequency stimulation. Pre-Post Y balance test will be used after 4 sessions to measure the improvement in balance in the population
4 sessions of treatment will be given to the participants with SWD. Pre-post Y balance test will be used to measure balance in the population
