Interventions

Intervention1: GROUP A- functional hip abductor training: The intervention consists of 6 sessions/week

implemented over a 4 week. Group A will receive functional hip abductor training exercises for 4 weeks, consisting of 3 sets of 15 repetitions, 15 s rest between sets, 6 times/week, for the followi

implemented over a 4 week. GROUP B will perform short foot exercise combined with hip abductor training exercises as group A. SHORT FOOT EXERCISES

1. DOMING

bring the first MTP joint close to the calcaneus, keeping the toes extended. 2. LESSER TOE EXTENSION

2-5 toes by pressing great toe to the ground. 3. TOE SPREAD

toe abduction. 4. HALLUX EXTENSION

great toe extension. 1st week - The patient is in a seated position with 90 of knee flexion.(11,6)

5 sec Contraction time x 12 repetitions 3 sets

Relax time: 2 sec between each set

1-2 min rest between each exercise. 2nd week - The Subject is in a seated position with 90 of knee flexion & loading the foot with hand while performing exercises.(11)

10 sec Contraction time x 12 repetitions 3 sets

Relax time: 5 sec between each set.1-2 min rest between each exercise. 3rd week - The subject is standing on both the leg while performing exercise. (11)
