Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of Resistance band treadmill walking and weight-bearing exercises on strength, balance, gait parameters and functional performance in a patient following ipsilateral neck and shaft of femur fracture managed with Long Proximal Femoral Nail (LPFN): Follow-up Two Years After Surgery.
Methodology: A 27-year-old male patient volunteered for a 4-week intervention (6 days in a week) where he performed 10 minutes of treadmill walking, 3 times per week, while wearing a Thera Loop band placed at distal end of femur bone that provided bidirectional resistance to the lower limb muscles. Strength, balance, gait parameters and functional performance were assessed before and after the 4-week intervention.
Conclusion: Results obtained Pre and Post – intervention showed a notable improvement in strength, balance and functional performance of the affected leg and thus depicted gait symmetry.
