Interventions

OTHER

Muscle energy techniques

Group A: 20 patients were included in this group. This studygroup was assigned with basic treatment protocol with 15 minutes of TENS and thermal therapy for 10 minutes followed by muscle energy technique (Post facilitation stretching exercises). The intervention was given three days per weekfor six weeks. Each total session lasted for 45minutes. METs were applied for the weakened muscles. (21). Group B: 20 Patients of this group were given core stability exercises by the female physical therapist in three different levels. Each level continued for a duration of two weeks in which the patients were trained for the exercises. The patients were provided sessions thrice per week with 2 sets of 10 repetitions and a hold of 10 second after TENS for 15 minutes and thermal therapy for 10 minutes
