Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Autogenic Inhibition
Group 1 will receive Autogenic inhibition with conventional treatment. Autogenic inhibition will be applied to the muscles of the anterior tibial compartment, including Tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus (Perform Dorsi-Flexion), Lateral Tibial Muscles (Peronei), and posterior tibial muscles including, gastrocnemius, soleus and plantaris (Perform Plantarflexion).
Heating Therapy
Heating Therapy will be performed on subjects along with PNF Exercises.
Manual Soft tissue Release
Manual Soft tissue Release will be performed on subjects along with PNF Exercises.
Reciprocal Relaxation
Group 2 will receive reciprocal inhibition with conventional treatment. Reciprocal inhibition will be applied to the muscles of the anterior tibial compartment, including Tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus (Perform Dorsi-Flexion), Lateral Tibial Muscles (Peronei), and posterior tibial muscles including, gastrocnemius, soleus and plantaris (Perform Plantarflexion).
