Intervention  Core strengthening with conventional therapy   In this study, two distinct exercise protocols have been implemented to address different aspects of rehabilitation for the participants. Exercise 1 focuses on core strengthening through targeted exercises including pelvic control exercises, bridging exercises, curl-ups, and side bridging exercises. These exercises are intended to bolster the stability and strength of the core muscles, which play a crucial role in supporting the spine and maintaining overall body posture and movement. On the other hand, Exercise 2 involves conventional therapy techniques such as range of motion exercises, mobility exercises, and stretching. These exercises are aimed at improving joint flexibility, enhancing overall mobility, and reducing muscle tension and stiffness. Both exercise protocols are integral components of rehabilitation programs, each targeting specific aspects of physical recovery and functional improvement for the participants involved in the study. Group will receive the treatment for 6 days per week for 8 weeks. Time duration for each session will be 40 minutes 
Comparator Agent  Task oriented exercises with conventional therapy   Group B will engage in a comprehensive program combining task-oriented exercises with conventional therapy techniques to enhance their rehabilitation outcomes. Exercise 1 focuses on heel lifts, performed in repetitions to improve lower limb strength and coordination. Exercise 2 involves both unilateral and bilateral slow arm movements, along with slow forward and backward walking, aimed at enhancing upper body control and gait stability. Exercise 3 challenges participants with a walking task covering 3 meters, including turning around a designated point and returning, to improve spatial awareness and mobility. Exercise 4 targets functional mobility by practicing standing up from a chair, which promotes lower limb strength and independence in daily activities. Exercise 5 introduces a coordination challenge where patients hold a ball in their unaffected hand while performing reaching and grasping movements, enhancing upper limb coordination and dexterity. Exercise 6 further challenges balance and coordination by performing similar reaching and grasping tasks while standing on a balance board, integrating proprioception and stability training. Finally, Exercise 7 includes conventional therapy components such as range of motion exercises, mobility drills, and stretching, which are essential for maintaining joint flexibility, reducing muscle tightness, and optimizing overall physical function. This combined approach aims to provide a holistic rehabilitation regimen that addresses both specific functional tasks and foundational physical abilities crucial for post-injury recovery and improved quality of life. Group will receive the treatment for 6 days per week for 8 weeks. Time duration for each session will be 40 minutes

Brief Summary  

The study aims to investigate and compare the effectiveness of two rehabilitation approaches in improving balance and functional outcomes for stroke patients: core strengthening with conventional therapy (Group A) versus task-oriented exercise with conventional therapy (Group B). A total of 36 patients will participate, selected through convenient sampling. Group A, consisting of 18 patients, will undergo a regimen focused on core strengthening exercises combined with conventional therapy. Group B, also comprising 18 patients, will engage in task-oriented exercises alongside conventional therapy sessions.

Participants will be recruited from Shri Mahant Indresh Hospital’s Department of Physiotherapy and Neurology Ward in Patel Nagar, Dehradun, based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Written informed consent will be obtained from each patient, with detailed explanations provided to their families regarding the study’s objectives and procedures. This structured approach aims to assess and compare the impact of these rehabilitation strategies on balance improvement and functional recovery among stroke patients, contributing to optimized rehabilitation protocols in clinical practice.
