Group B - Gluteal Muscle Activation Program + Core Strengthening Program Hot pack applied to lumbar area for 15-20 minutes. 3 sessions per week for 4 weeks. Moderate intensity, bodyweight-based exercises with controlled movement. Each exercise: 3 sets of 15 repetitions with 30-40 seconds rest between sets. Target: Gluteal muscles and pelvic control:

Gluteal Activation focuses on "waking up" and isolating the gluteus maximus, medius, and minimus to ensure they fire properly, often using low-load, high-control movements.

The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK-11) is a shortened, 11-item version of the original 17-item TSK questionnaire used to assess fear of movement, or kinesiophobia, in individuals with chronic pain or other conditions involving movement limitations

The Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) is used to assess "patients' initial function, ongoing progress, and outcome" for a variety of disorders affecting the lower extremities. LEFS is a self-reported survey. The LEFS total score ranges from 0 to 80, with higher scores indicating better functional ability.

The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a tool used to measure the intensity of pain. It's a unidimensional scale, typically an 11-point scale ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 represents no pain and 10 represents the worst pain imaginable. Patients verbally or numerically indicate the level of pain they are experiencing.

The Trendelenburg test is a physical examination used to assess the strength of hip abductor muscles, specifically the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus, or to check for the competency of venous valves in the legs. A positive Trendelenburg sign, indicated by a drop of the pelvis on the unsupported side during a single-leg stance, suggests weakness in the hip abductors.
