About

This study will compare the effects of Eccentric training and Strength training with priory applied Active Release Technique on Quadriceps muscle in post operative patients of Dynamic Hip screw. Participants would be equally divided into two groups each receiving specific type of protocol besides standard post operative protocol of Dynamic Hip screw

Full description

The study is Randomized Control Trial, being conducted at Fauji Foundation Hospital Rawalpindi .This study will compare the effects of two techniques addressing the contractile as well as non-contractile element of Quadriceps in early phase of Rehabilitation.
