About this trial
Stroke is one of the world's leading causes of death and disability. It can cause a variety of motor disorders, such as apraxia, sensory deficits, abnormal muscle tone, inadequate weight transfer, lack of fine motor skills, incoordination, and balance deficit. These disorders can have a significant negative impact on a person's quality of life.
Eligibility criteria

The age range of participants was between 45 and 60 years.
Participants that were diagnosed with ischemic stroke patient.
Participants had experienced sub-acute ischemic stroke, specifically 15 days to 12 weeks post-stroke.
Disqualifiers
People who had a history of serious neurological or mental conditions that would have impeded lower limb motor recovery-aside from stroke-were not included.
Individuals with severe arthritis or joint injuries, among other illnesses that would have interfered with treatment or evaluations, were not allowed to participate.
Individuals who had significant hearing or vision impairments that would have hampered treatment or evaluations were not included.
Individuals undergoing anti-spatial therapy or other clinical trials, those with bilateral brain lesions, and those with ischemic involvement of the cerebellum or basal ganglia were not allowed to participate.
