Detailed description

Sealed envelope contained total 34 questionnaires, 17 for each group. Patients were allocated randomly on the basis of group mentioned on the Performa. Similar conservative rehabilitation protocol was designed for both control and experimental group except for experimental group had ELDOA Exercises in addition. Patients were examined at 1st visit before administration of any treatment and at 4th visit which was also the last one (after completing 4 sessions at alternate days). Baseline evaluation for demographics and symptomatology was taken.
