Study Arms (2)

Intervention group (Group A)

EXPERIMENTAL

STRECHING EXERCISES: A. HAMSTRING MUSCLE STRECHING. B. CALF MUSCLE STRECHING: 2\. STRENGTHENING EXCERCISES: 2 exercises will be performed on targeted muscle group Quadriceps. A. QUADRICEP MUSCLE (with ankle weight). B. QUADRICEP MUSCLE (straight leg raise). 3\. KNEE RANGE OF MOTION EXERCISES: (FLEXION AND EXTENSION) 4\. FUNCTIONAL EXERCISES: A. SIT TO STAND: B. CLIMBING STAIRS: KINESIO TAPING The following KT application techniques will be used for intervention group after identifying the goal. Goal - A: Proprioception Stimulation and Mechanical Correction Tape Technique-A: (Strip Cutting Shape: One Y-shaped + two I-shaped strips). Goal B: Lymphatic Correction and Muscle Correction Tape Technique-B: (Strip Cutting Shape: Two Y-shaped + two I-shaped strips).

Other: Intervention group

control group (Group.B)

OTHER

GROUP.B - (CONTROL) - EXERCISES ONLY WITHOUT KINESIO TAPE The exercise types and dosage will be exactly the same for control group (as in experimental group (as mentioned above) But no kinesio tape will be given to this group.

Other: Intervention group
