Interventions
soleus kinetic control
patients will receive kinetic control for 30 minutes structural progressive training for the soleus muscle guided by the EMG biofeedback plus conventional therapy; 1)Start in crook lying position with the heels level with the pelvis and lift the pelvis clear of the floor followed by bilateral heel raise,2)Progress further by shifting weight onto one leg and holding the heel raise and slowly lowering eccentrically on 1 foot, the next progression is to perform the same movement with the heels lower than the pelvis on step -below the pelvis. The exercise graduation will be guided by the visual EMG Biofeedback participants will receive feedback on soleus activation throughout the training.
conventional therapy
the patients will receives conventional physiotherapy program static stretching and stretching board for calf muscle, stretching board, and push off exercises by having the patient push against the therapist or a treatment table during forward gait ( 30 minute), static stretch(30sec\\set , rest 20sec\\set total 5 set, 3 times \\week , for 8 week ), stretching board (4 min\\set , rest 1 min\\set total 2 set , 3 times \\week , for 8 week ) (10 minute) push off training (15 minute 3 times \\week , for 8 week )x2
