Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
assisted sit-up exercises Group
Group A patients will be instructed to perform assisted sit-up exercises by lying on their back and lifting their torso. They will use their body weight to strengthen and tone the core stabilizing abdominal muscles. This exercise will perform a minimum of five and a maximum of 10 repetitions, two times a day and two days a week.
assisted sit-up exercises
Group A patients will be instructed to perform assisted sit-up exercises by lying on their back and lifting their torso. They will use their body weight to strengthen and tone the core stabilizing abdominal muscles. This exercise will perform a minimum of five and maximum of 10 repetitions, two times a day and two days a week. Isometrics, back stretching, and strengthening exercises will be given as a common intervention for both groups before starting treatment session.
swiss ball pikes exercises Group
Group B patients will be instructed to perform swiss ball pikes by getting into the pushup position, the rest of the tops of their feet on a swiss ball. Each patient should keep her legs as straight as possible, bend their hips and try to pull their feet towards their chest so that the ball rolls forward. Hold at the top for three to four seconds, then slowly roll back to the starting position. This exercise will perform a minimum of one or two and a maximum of 10 repetitions, two times a day and two days a week. Both exercises will be performed for 12 weeks in both groups.
