Experimental Group
The experimental group will receive training programs of Motor imagery (MI) for 25 minutes and Task-Oriented Circuit Class Training (TOCCT) for 65 minutes. Overall duration of program session will be 90 minutes. Training for 3 times a week over duration of 4 weeks.
Motor imagery: Motor imagery (MI) will be trained for the individuals by imagination of the movement. Program of MI includes 1) body relaxation and awareness 2) visual imagery 3) kinesthetic imagery and 4) refocusing of body and environment.
Task-Oriented Circuit Class Training: Program of Task-Oriented Circuit Class Training (TOCCT) consists of warm up and perform tasks 1) Stepping forward-backward onto block 2) Stepping sideway onto block 3) Heel lifts in standing to strengthen affected planter-flexor muscles 4) Standing with a decreased base and reach for object 5) Standing up from chair, walking a short distance, and returning to chair 6) Symmetrical walking and 7) Walking at fast speed.
