Primary outcomes

  1. Berg Balance Scale

    Time frame: Baseline (Pre treatment)

    The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) is a 56-point scale that evaluates 14 tasks. Katherine Berg developed this test to assess the level of function and balance in various patient populations. Minimum score is 0 (means severe balance deficit) and Maximum score is 56 (means No balance deficit)

  2. Berg Balance Scale

    Time frame: At 4th week of treatment

    The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) is a 56-point scale that evaluates 14 tasks. Katherine Berg developed this test to assess the level of function and balance in various patient populations. Minimum score is 0 (means severe balance deficit) and Maximum score is 56 (means No balance deficit)

  3. Berg Balance Scale

    Time frame: At 8th week of treatment (Post treatment )

    The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) is a 56-point scale that evaluates 14 tasks. Katherine Berg developed this test to assess the level of function and balance in various patient populations. Minimum score is 0 (means severe balance deficit) and Maximum score is 56 (means No balance deficit)
