Interventions

OTHER

Group A (Experimental

Laser therapy is performed on patients in supine lying position. Treatments will be delivered with a diode laser (wavelength 830 nm, continuous wave, power 50 mW) in skin contact at a dose of 6 J/point. Treatment times per point are in the range of 30 seconds to 1 minute. eight points were irradiated per session. Conventional therapy will include: * TENS for 15 minutes * Hot pack for 15 minutes * Hamstrings muscle stretching and calf muscle stretching. Strengthening exercises ,straight leg raising exercise in crook lying position * Joint mobilizations

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Group B (Control)

1\. Participants of this group will receive only conventional therapy which will include; * TENS for 15 minutes * Hot pack for 15 minutes * Hamstrings muscle stretching and calf muscle stretching.Each stretch was sustained for 30 seconds, with 10-second rest intervals. * Strengthening exercises include quadricep drills(full knee extension maintained for 5 seconds, followed by a 5-second rest) 20 repetitions per session,straight leg raising exercise in crook lying position(the patients were asked to tense the quadriceps muscle, elevate the limb to 45° and maintain it for 6 seconds, and lower the limb slowly and then relax for 6 seconds; the exercise was performed for three sets of 10 repetitions per session). * Joint mobilizations (tibiofemoral extension and flexion; patellofemoral medial-lateral and inferior glide).
