Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The patients will randomly be divided into two equal groups; the control group received the conventional selected exercise program and the study group received the same exercise training program in addition to muscle energy technique, three times per week for four weeks.
The evaluation methods by Femoral nerve conduction velocity will be measured via the Neuropack S1 MEB9004 EMG device before the exercise program and after finishing the exercise program, and also the Pelvic compression test and Pain numeric rating scale

study group
received the conventional selected exercise program in addition to muscle energy technique
muscle energy technique
the patient was supine and the therapist fix the lower limb of the affected side then ask the patient to perform isometric contraction for abductors maintained for 3-5 seconds, then the patient was instructed to stop, exhale and relax then the therapist perform further adducted the patient's knee of the affected side as a stretching exercise for Three to five repetitions of these directions were performed.
conventional selected physical therapy
1. life style modification
2. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)
3. Flexibility stretching exercises to the hip flexors
