Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Motor imagery technique	Motor imagery technique	Motor Imagery technique Plus Conventional Physical therapy
Conventional Physical therapy	Conventional Physical Therapy	passive stretching, ROM exercises, sitting to standing, anteroposterior step, climbing and descending stairs.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Lower Extremity Function scale	8 weeks	It is 20 items questionnaire, measure the lower extremity function scoring from 1 to 4 for each items, in which minimum score is 0 and maximum score of 80 shows the maximum functional status. It has a valid and reliable tool to measure the lower extremity functional status.
Dynamic Gait Index	8 weeks	It assess gait, balance and fall risk, with 24 is the maximum score, in which 19 or less have been related to increase incidence of falls. It has high reliability and validity in the stroke population.
Time Up and Go test	8 weeks	It assess a person's mobility and requires both static and dynamic balance. Score of less than 10 seconds indicate freely mobile,\<20 seconds mostly independent, 20-29 seconds variable mobility, \>30 seconds Impaired mobility. It is reliable, valid, and easy to administer clinical tool in stroke patients.
Stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale	8 Weeks	It is a self-report questionnaire, measure the quality of life in stroke patients consisting of 49 items in the 12 domains. Scoring from 1 to 5 , in which 1 shows strongly agreement and 5 shows strongly disagreement. It is a reliable and valid tool for measuring the quality of life for stroke patients.
Modified Ashworth scale	8 Weeks	It measures the spasticity, ranging from 0 means normal tone to 4 shows increased tone to such extent where passive movement is not possible. It has good intra-rater reliability and validity in stroke patients .
