Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To investigate the effect of muscle energy technique on Femoral meralgia paraesthesia in a postpartum female. BACKGROUND: meralgia paraesthesia is one of the serious disorders in the postpartum female which results in pain and less physical activities.

………HYPOTHESES:

This study hypothesized that:

muscle energy technique will have a significant effect on Femoral meralgia paraesthesia in postpartum female

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Thirty meralgia paraesthesia postpartum females will participate in this study.

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
