| Intervention |
Non-hemiplegic side strengthening and conventional therapy |
this group will receive 25 minutes of non-hemiplegic side strengthening along with 20 minutes conventional therapy. Non-hemiplegic lower limb stepping forward training repeatedly with
resisting elastic belt (Thera-Band), 3 sets and 10-15 repetitions in each
set. Non-hemiplegic upper limb pulling elastic belt repeatedly in standing
