Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • changes in blood pressure

    subjects will receive Jacobsons muscle relaxation technique. Patients will be demonstrated with the technique to contract and relax various groups of muscles, to coordinate contractions and relaxations with deep breaths and to perform the entire procedure with eyes closed in supine lying down position. Every subject will perform this supervised relaxation for 6 repetitions during a single session on once a day basis for four weeks.

    twice a week for four weeks

  • Barthel Index for Activity of daily living

    The Barthel Index (BI) measures the extent to which somebody can function independently and has mobility in their activities of daily living feeding, bathing, grooming, dressing, bowel control, bladder control, toileting, chair transfer, ambulation and stair climbing.

    four weeks

jacobson's progressive muscular relaxation technique

EXPERIMENTAL

Questionnaire will be used as subjective measurements of activity of daily living and Bp will be monitored for initial readings. They will receive Jacobsons muscle relaxation technique. Patients will be demonstrated with the technique to contract and relax various groups of muscles, to coordinate contractions and relaxations with deep breaths and to perform the entire procedure with eyes closed in supine lying down position. Every subject will perform this supervised relaxation for 6 repetitions during a single session on once a day basis twice a week for four weeks. At the end of 4 weeks of treatment session blood pressure will be recorded questionnaire will be filled
