Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Patient Specific Functional Scale for lower extremity functional status
Time Frame: 6th week
Patient Specific Functional Scale (PSFS) was developed by Stratford et al 1995 as a self-report outcome measure of function that could be used in patients with varying levels of independence. The aim of PSFS is to provide clinicians with a valid, reliable, responsive and efficient outcome measure that would be easy to use and applicable to a large number of clinical presentations. Gives the patient positive re-enforcement that the intervention is effective. Can be used on a wide variety of musculoskeletal and neurological conditions
Secondary Outcomes
- 6 minute walk test(6th week)
- sit to stand test(6th Week)
