Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This study will be conduced in Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology \& National Institute of Heart Diseases(AFIC \& NIHD) using non-probability purposive sampling technique. Sample size has been calculated from open epi tool is 135, 45 in each group. Patients are selected according to the inclusion criteria. Patients will be guided about the risks and benefits of the study, voluntary participation and confidentiality of the data. After taking informed consent patients will be randomly assigned to the groups using sealed envelope method. Length of the calf muscles and lower limb tempertaure will be measured before and immediately after the treatment. Post-isometric relaxation technique is given to one group, static stretching to the second group and basic cardiac rehabilitation protocol to the third group.
Group 1(Experimental group): post-isometric relaxation technique using 20% of strength, contraction time of 10 second with 15 second rest period in between+ 4 repetitions. Leg slides and ankle pumps, 2 sets of 10 repetitions. Walk for 10 minutes.
Group 2(Experimental group): static stretching 15 second hold time for stretch + 5 repetitions. Ankle pumps and leg slides: 2 sets of 10 repetitions. Walk for 10 minutes.
Group 3(Control Group): Ankle pumps and leg slides: 2 sets of 10 repetitions. Walk for 10 minutes.
Psot-isometric relaxation technique: This technique will be performed by asking the patient to contract his calf muscles using 20% of the strength. Maintain the contraction for 10 second with 15 second of rest period in between each contraction in which muscle is being lengthened. A total of 4 repetitions will be performed.
Static stretching: This technique will be performed by asking the patient to perform dorsiflexion till the point of discomfort. The patient will maintain the stretch for 15 second and 5 repetitions will be performed.
Length of calf muscles and temperature of lower limb will be measured immediately after the treatment.
