Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
effect of gait training with AS on dynamic balance, gait and functional independence in stroke	conventional gait training	Patients with chronic stroke receive gait training with auditory stimuli to improve dynamic balance, gait and functional independence.
effect of conventional gait training on dynamic balance, gait and functional independence in stroke	conventional gait training	Patients in this group receive conventional gait training only to improve dynamic balance, gait and functional independence .Patients did not receive auditory stimuli for gait training.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Berg balance scale	6 weeks	To identify the effect of treatment on dynamic balance. The BBS consists of 14 items scored on a 5 point ordinal scale , ramging from 0-4 ..0 means unable to sit without support .4 means able to sit independently.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Barthel index	6 weeks	it is an ordinal scale that measures functional independence in the domain of personal care and mobility.
Gait speed	6 weeks	it is the time one takes to walk a specific distance on level surface over a short distance. A distance of 3 to 10 meters is measured over a level surface with 2 meters acceleration and 2 meter for decleration
POMA	6 weeks	It evaluates dynamic balance and walking patters.
