Brief Summary

The functional strength training is mainly dealt with anti-gravity muscles and aiming at maximal carry over in day to day activities. The functional strength training can be given using resistance and it may be gravity, body weight, resistance bands and free weights. The exercises are specific to the muscle or muscle groups recruited during the functional activities

Conditions

Study Groups

STUDY GROUP

they received progressive resistive functional strength training from plantigrade foot position conducted for one hour, 3 days/week. The therapist will replace the conventional physical therapy with the progressive resistive functional strength training, when this is consistent with the objectives of the strength training.
