Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
-To measure the spasticity of lower limbs using Modified Ashworth scale (MAS scale) and Tardieu scale while keeping the dosage of antispastic and neuropathic medications same throughout the course of the studyTimepoint: 4 days per week for 3 weeks during the course of admission	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
- To measure the frequency of spasms in the lower limbs by using accelerometer strapped to the distal segment of joints and compare it in the beginning, middle and end of study. - To compare the levels of neuropathic pain experienced by the patient using Visual analogue score (VAS), NPSI score, Leeds inventory score at the beginning, middle and end of the study. Timepoint: 4 days per week for 3 weeks during the course of admission	—
