Study Arms (2)

diagonal pattern training

EXPERIMENTAL

diagonal pattern training group will involve performance of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique's chopping and lifting pattern to create 10 movements.

Other: diagonal pattern training

control group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

in control group patients will perform movements in single plane

Other: single plane training

Interventions

diagonal pattern training OTHER

patients will receive proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique's chopping and lifting pattern to create 10 movements.

diagonal pattern training

single plane training OTHER

patients will receive single plane training of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation in control group
