Active Control
Group I: Stochastic Resonance stimulationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
During this condition, participants will perform postural transitions like sit to stand, gait initiation, sit to walk and Timed Up and Go test while receiving stochastic resonance stimulation on legs and hip.
Group II: No Stochastic Resonance stimulationActive Control1 Intervention
During this condition, participants will perform postural transitions like sit to stand, gait initiation, sit to walk and Timed Up and Go test without receiving any electrical stimulation.
