Functional Training Group
This group will perform exercises in stages. First stage consists of movements to improve balance in sitting position with exercises upright the pelvis, move weight forward, move weight to the left and right and rotate right and left. Second stage consist of sit to stand movements with exercises upright the pelvis in sitting position, move weight forward from a sitting position and stand up from a sitting position. Third stage consist of standing movements to improve balance with exercises move weight right and left, forward weight shift with right foot and left foot (lateral view) and forward weight shift with right foot and left foot (front view). Fourth stage consist of walking side ways to left and then towards right. Therapist will perform these tasks and video will be made which will play in front of patients.
participants including in this group will perform the tasks including lying to sitting position, moving in the sitting posture, sitting and standing up, posture training for learning a normal gait pattern, weight bearing and weight movement training in the straight posture, walking training on the flat floor, and stair walking
