Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1.Range of Motion (ROM) using Digital Inclinometer Lower limb joint range of motion will be assessed using a digital inclinometer. The ranges of motion evaluated will include: Knee Flexion, Extension and Ankle Plantarflexion , Dorsiflexion 2.Circumferential Tape Measurement (Edema Assessment) Edema will be assessed using circumferential tape measurement at standardized anatomical landmarks around the involved lower limb. 3.Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) Functional ability of the lower limb will be evaluated using the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS). Timepoint: Pre assessment and Post assessment of outcome measures will be done immediately post intervention and after 1 week of follow up | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |

| Pain Assessment using Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) Pain intensity will be assessed using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). Pain scores will be recorded during the pre-assessment, immediately post-intervention, and after one week of follow-up.Timepoint: Pre assessment and Post assessment of outcome measures will be done immediately post intervention and after 1 week of follow up | — |
