Abstract

A sample of 30 subjects were randomly divided into three equal groups and out of them group A and group B were considered as experimental group whereas the group C was considered as control group. Among the experimental groups, group A received combined weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing exercises in which each exercise consists of both weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing phase in a single repetition. The subjects of group B received weight-bearing exercises where each exercise consists of weight-bearing phase alone. The pre and post test values were obtained using three standard outcome measures namely STREAM scale, Tinetti scale and Timed Up and Go test. The pre-post values were statistically analyzed and the results showed that weight-bearing exercises were more beneficial than the combined weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing exercises.
