Overview
Brief Summary
This research endeavors to investigate the impact of treadmill based gait training along with balance training on balance, gait and functional mobility hence, improve functional independence and quality of life for stroke survivors. Through a meticulous selection process, a sample size of 68 participants is included in the study, with the clear criteria for inclusion and exclusion. The experimental design involves two distinct groups: Group 1, designated as a intervention group and Group 2: designated as control group. Group 1 undergoes targeted treadmill based gait training along with balance training, while Group 2 undergoes targeted over ground walking along with balance training. This comparative approach facilitates as in-depth analysis, assessing impact of these intervention on the primary outcomes in context of stroke recovery. The ultimate goal is to generate findings that can inform evidence-based practice protocols, guiding healthcare practitioners in the development of more effective and tailored interventions for individuals who have experienced a stroke. The study emphasis on rigorous participant selection ensures a focused and meaningful contribution to the broader field of stroke rehabilitation.

Inclusion Criteria
- •1.Diagnosis of Stroke: Participants must have a documented history of a stroke, confirmed by medical records and diagnostic imaging.
- •2.Age Range: Participants aged between 40-60 years will be included to ensure a representative sample of stroke survivors within a manageable age range.
- •3.Time Since Stroke: Individuals who have experienced a stroke within the past 1 months to 2years will be eligible for inclusion, capturing a range of subacute to chronic stages of stroke recovery.
- •4.Ability to Ambulate: Individuals capable of walking with or without assistance, including assistive devices, will be considered for inclusion.
- •5.Cognitive Ability: Participants should possess sufficient cognitive ability to understand and follow instructions related to the rehabilitation program.
- •Willingness to participate: individuals who express a willingness and commitment to participate in the study.
- •Informed consent: individuals who provide informed written consent to participate in the study.
Exclusion Criteria
- •1.Unstable Medical Condition: Individuals with unstable medical conditions, such as uncontrolled hypertension, recent cardiac events, or severe respiratory disorders, will be excluded due to potential risks associated with physical exertion.
- •3.Non-ambulatory Individuals: Individuals who are completely non-ambulatory and unable to walk, even with assistance, will be excluded from the study.
- •4.Language Barriers: Individuals who do not understand or speak the language of instruction used in the rehabilitation program and assessments will be excluded.
- •5.Unwillingness to Participate: Individuals unwilling or unable to provide informed consent, commit to the rehabilitation program, or attend scheduled sessions will be excluded.
- •6.Pregnancy: Pregnant individuals will be excluded due to potential risks associated with physical exertion and the intervention.
- •7.Uncontrolled Pain: Participants experiencing uncontrolled pain that could hinder their participation in the rehabilitation program will be excluded.
