Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Conventional Physiotherapy  Participants will receive conventional physiotherapy 3 times per week for 6 weeks (total 18 sessions). Each session (45–50 min) will include: positioning, reaching, bridging, leg raising, trunk rotation, core strengthening (plank), squatting, thoracic expansion, static and dynamic sitting balance (with gym ball), weight-bearing, sit-to-stand, step-ups/downs, weight shifting, and pelvic tilting exercises. Exercises will be progressed according to tolerance. 
Intervention  Task Oriented Circuit Training  Participants in the experimental group will receive task-oriented circuit training in addition to conventional physiotherapy on alternate days. The TOCT program consists of 8 task-specific workstations performed sequentially. Each workstation will be performed for 2 minutes, with a 1-minute rest period between stations. A 2-minute warm-up will be provided prior to the circuit. Total session duration will be approximately 25 minutes. The tasks include: 1.Standing and reaching for objects 2.Sit-to-stand, walking, turning, and sitting 3.Walking and picking up objects from the floor 4.Walking with obstacles 5.Backward walking 6.Ball kicking in standing 7.Swiss ball squats 8.Tandem walking. Task difficulty will be progressively increased by modifying distance, speed, resistance, complexity, or support as tolerated. Frequency and Duration: 3 sessions per week for 6 weeks

Brief Summary
Modification(s)  		 This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effectiveness of task-oriented circuit training (TOCT) combined with conventional physiotherapy on locomotor performance and quality of life in stroke survivors. Participants will be allocated to either TOCT plus conventional physiotherapy or conventional physiotherapy alone. The intervention will be provided 3 times per week for 6 weeks. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 6 weeks using TUG,10MWT, 2MWT, and FAC as primary outcomes and SSQOL-17 as a secondary outcome.
