Results reveals that post test mean knowledge score 19.68 was higher when compared with pre test mean knowledge score 7.48 & post test mean practice score 29.45 was higher when compared with pre test mean practice score 22.93. Hence it is statistically interpreted that planned teaching program on knowledge & practice regarding body mechanics was effective.
