Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
A primary outcome measure was pain which was assessed by Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). Timepoint: This brief assessment ensured minimal disruption to the therapy sessions and provided a quick and effective way to monitor pain changes over time. measurement was taken before intervention, at 2nd week , 4rth week. Method of measurement: Pain, the primary outcome measure, was assessed using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). Participants rated their pain on a scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). Measurements were taken at four time points: baseline (before the start of the intervention), at the end of the 2nd week, at the end of the 4th week (after the intervention period), and at the 8th week follow-up. This method ensured a comprehensive evaluation of pain reduction over time.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary outcome measures were hip abduction and internal rotation range of motion that was measured through universal goniometer and Lower Extremity Functional Status was assessed by Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS). Timepoint: 1.Hip Abduction and Internal Rotation Range of Motion: Measured using a universal goniometer. Each measurement typically took about 5-10 minutes per hip, including positioning the participant, taking measurements, and recording results. outcome measurement was taken before treatment , at 2nd week and at 4th week. Lower Extremity Functional Status: Assessed using the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS). Completing the LEFS questionnaire generally took about 5 minutes per participant.In total, assessing both range of motion and functional status would take approximately 10-15 minutes per participant per assessment session.outcome measurement was taken before treatment , at 2nd week and at 4th week. Method of measurement: For secondary outcome measures, hip abduction and internal rotation range of motion were assessed using a universal goniometer. Lower Extremity Functional Status was assessed using the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS). Participants completed a 20-item questionnaire evaluating their ability to perform daily activities, with responses scored from 0 (extreme difficulty or unable to perform) to 4 (no difficulty).
