Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Pain : Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)

Patients' overall assessment of pain will be provided using the numeric pain rating scale

Time frame
3 Weeks
2

Range of Motion : Universal Goniometer

It is frequently employed as a benchmark technique for the assessment of Range of Motion

Time frame
3 Weeks
3

Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS)

The LEFS is a self-report questionnaire intended to assess functional status in patients with disability of the lower extremity (e.g., hip, thigh, ankle) containing 20 questions about a person's ability to perform everyday tasks

Time frame
3 Weeks
