Study Arms (2)

Reverse Walking+Baseline treatment

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Conventional treatment was given then received Reverse Walking Training which was provided for 7 min per set, with approximately 3 min of inter-set rest, for a total training duration of 60 min/day, 3 days/week for 3 successive months .

Other: Reverse Walking+Baseline treatment

Whole Body Vibration + Reverse Walking+Baseline treatment

EXPERIMENTAL

Conventional Physical Therapy Treatment was given as a baseline treatment which includes Stretching, Range of motion exercises, and Strengthening exercises) performed for 10 min. Reverse Walking Training which was provided for 7 min per set, with approximately 3 min of inter-set rest, for a total training duration of 30 min/day, 3 days/week for 3 successive months After that Group received Whole Body Vibration including three vibration sessions per week for three months. The participants have to carry out each set of vibration for 2 min in the first month, and then it was increased to 3 min in the second and 5 min in the third month. The rest period between each set was 1 min in the first month, then it became half a minute in the second and third month. Total training duration is 30 min/day, 3 days/week for 3 successive months.

Other: Whole Body Vibration + Reverse Walking+Baseline treatment
