| Distance of walking: 2MWT was administered to check the distance of walking in the meter before and after the intervention. The test was implemented on a walking path that is free from obstacles (including other people) and 50 feet in length as available. The measuring wheel was used to measure the exact distance be covered by the patient during the test. The physiotherapist holds the walking wheel and walk behind the patient to calculate the distance. The patient walked for 2 minutes and the distance was calculated automatically by measuring the wheel. The assistive device could be used and was documented from test to test. The time starts upon “Go” and stop timing at 2 minutes. The patient will be instructed as follows “Cover as much ground as possible over 2 minutes. Walk continuously if possible, but do not be concerned if you need to slow down or stop to rest. The goal is to feel at the end of the test that more ground could not have been covered in the 2 minutes.” There are different pathways that can be used in the 2MWT. in this study, “Out and Back” pathway was chosen. Timepoint: At baseline, after two weeks and after four weeks of the intervention. Method of measurement: 2 Minutes Walking test (2MWT).;The speed of walking: The TUG test was used to assess the speed of walking before and after the intervention. Measuring tape, chair with armrest, tape to mark the ground, and stopwatch was used in this test. A 3-meter (or 9 ft, 10 in) walkway was measured by the measuring tape. On one end, a chair was placed facing down the walkway with the front legs as the start point of the 3-meter distance. On the other end, a piece of tape (or cone) was placed to serve as a marker. The patient sat on a chair with their back against the back rest preparing for the test. The patient was instructed as following; “When I say ‘go’, stand up and walk to the marker in front of you. Turn around once you get to the marker and return to your chair and sit. Make sure that you | — |
