Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Quantitative Gait Analysis. Parameters to be measured Gait Speed, Cadence, Step Length etc. 2. sEMG changes of Tibialis Anterior in time-frequency domain. 3. EEG changes in time-frequency domain.Timepoint: All measurement taken at Baseline (Pre-treatment ), and after 4, 8, and 12 weeks at the end of intervention—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Energy expenditure through physiological cost index(PCI), 2. Functional improvement measured using a standard Gross Motor Function Measure-GMFM 66 scale) 3. Questionnaire about impression of the interventions, complaints, ability to dorsiflex ankle and any effect on their walking.Timepoint: All measurement taken at Baseline (Pre-treatment ), and after 4, 8, and 12 weeks at the end of intervention—
