Summary

Stoke is a leading cause of disability that results not only in persistent neurological deficits but also profound physical de-conditioning that propagates stroke-related secondary disability. Several kinds of research have reported that there has been asymmetrical weight bearing on the affected side while sitting and standing resulting in impaired performance especially reaching in sitting, rising from the chair, walking, and climbing stairs. Despite the stroke patient being able to walk independently with or without the walking aids, the patient still lacks the normal movement pattern especially weight transfers on the affected side while performing such activities which subsequently decreases the patient to restrain the challenges while walking, decrease confidence in functional activities. Also, further, there hasn't been enough literature on this topic. Therefore, the objective of this study is to find out the effectiveness of multidirectional stepping and weight shifting exercises to improve dynamic balance and gait speed in stroke patients.
