Summary

Stroke patients experience weakening of muscles on the affected side. Damage to the motor cortex and the pyramidal tract due to a stroke leads to a motor control disorders and co-contraction of trunk muscles due to abnormal levels of abdominal muscle tension and voluntary movement.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Anodal transcranial direct current stimulation

The size of both electrodes will be 5cm x 5cm placed on the head with the anode on the primary motor cortex M1 of the affected side while the cathode on the contralesional eye. The duration of the stimulation of anodal TDCS is 20 min and the intensity of current will be 2mA. The ramp up and down period will be 30se each. Treatment duration will be 5 times a week for 6 weeks for postural stability.

OTHER

Sham Stimulation

postural training by visual feedback and weight shifting towards the non-paretic side. This program will have two phases. Phase one have 4 stages; The first stage (sessions 1-7), second stage (sessions 8-14), third stage (sessions 15-22), fourth stage (sessions 23-30). Next phase will include the exercises including balancing exercises.
