研究组 & 干预措施
Foot exercise with hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy will be performed by immersing the women's foot in a container filled with 3 liters water with a temperature of 30-32°C. The water level must cover the women's feet up to ankle. During the immersion the therapist will ask the women to perform exercise with legs being fully supported, then alternatively stretch and flex the ankle for 30 times. which will be followed by circling each foot at ankle in clock wise and anticlock wise direction, 30 times each. The duration of water immersion session will be (30 min) for 5 consecutive days
干预措施: hydrotherapy (Other)

结局指标
主要结局
Lower Extremity Functional Scale
时间窗: 8th week
The Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) is a questionnaire containing 20 questions about a person's ability to perform everyday tasks. The LEFS can be used to evaluate the functional status of lower limb
Figure of 8 Method
时间窗: 8th week
The figure of 8 method uses landmarks on the foot and ankle to measure the circumference of ankle in centimeters. 1. the point midway over the anterior ankle between the tibialis anterior tendon and lateral malleolus, 2. the navicular tuberosity, 3. the base of the fifth metatarsal, and 4. the inferior tip of the medial malleolus
