Table 2.
The comparison between mean ROM of joints in Lower limbs before and after receiving the EPPS protocol in veterans used the EPPS optimally.
| Variant | Mean value | SD | P value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hip abd. ROM | Before EPPS | 18.9655 | 9.3902 | 0.003 |
| After EPPS | 23.1034 | 7.6080 | ||
| Hip add. ROM | Before EPPS | 15.8621 | 7.3276 | 0.005 |
| After EPPS | 18.9655 | 5.5708 | ||
| Hip flex. ROM | Before EPPS | 85.3448 | 22.2779 | 0.000 |
| After EPPS | 103.7931 | 13.9933 | ||
| Hip ext. ROM | Before EPPS | 7.4138 | 7.8627 | 0.000 |
| After EPPS | 12.0690 | 6.1986 | ||
| Knee flex ROM | Before EPPS | 89.3103 | 28.0218 | 0.111 |
| After EPPS | 150.000 | 204.7646 | ||
| Ankle dorsiflex ROM | Before EPPS | 3.5714 | 5.4189 | 0.000 |

| Ankle plantar flex | Before EPPS | 9.8214 | 10.2227 | 0.000 |
| After EPPS | 19.2857 | 10.8622 | ||
According to the table, apart from knee flexion, mean difference in the rest ROM was significant (P < 0.05).
