Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Physiological cost index. Timepoint: Pre assessment will be done on baseline assessment and Post assessment will be done after 6 weeks. Method of measurement: Physiologic cost index(PCI) is an indicator of energy expenditure that includes heart rate during gait along with speed and the formula used will be energy expenditure: walking heart rate-resting heart rate/walking velocity.
