Journal Title: Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy Journal - Year 2019, Vol 12, Issue 3
Abstract
A total of 24 patients meeting the internal and external criteria were taken for the study. Mean values of their age was 38.20 ± years. And assigned into two groups, A & B, each group consisting 12 patients. In experimental study. Both groups received regular physiotherapy treatment throughout the study period other than Dynamic slow reversal PNF treadmill training. Group B (Experimental group) were treated with Dynamic slow reversal PNF technique in addition to regular physiotherapy program which they were undergoing on regular basis technique and whereas Group A (Control group) patients were treated with treadmill training in addition to regular physiotherapy program which they were undergoing on regular basis. Treadmill training consisted of supervised aerobic exercise delivered three sessions each week for 4 weeks. The mean MFIS scores was 25.75 for the Experimental Group (p<0.05) and 31.25 for the Control Group (p < 0.05). The mean BBS scores was 41.50 for the Experimental Group (p<0.05) and 34.25 for Control Group (p < 0.05). The results of this experimental study reveal that participants in the PNF group who participated in 4 week program showed significant improvements in basic mobility, balance and reducing fatigue post treatment.
