Conditions
Interventions
Intermitted pneumatic pressure
Intermittent pneumatic compression will be applied with the patient positioned comfortably in a supported supine lying position on an appropriately sized treatment table. The treated limb will be inspected for skin integrity, with any bandages removed, and a cotton gauze sleeve will be applied prior to placement of the compression sleeve. The compression unit will be placed on a stable surface, checked for cleanliness and proper assembly, and securely connected to the limb. Treatment parameters will be set at a pressure of 40 mmHg with an intermittent cycle of 90 seconds of inflation followed by 90 seconds of deflation. Each treatment session will last 30 minutes.
Conventional physical therapy
Conventional physical therapy will be received in the form of range of motion exercises, strength exercise, stretching exercises, sit to stand, proprioception training and balance training, 3 times per week for 6 weeks.
