Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Fugal-Meyer Scale will be used to motor function, Berg Balance Scale for balance and Barthel Index will be used to assess activities of daily living. Assessment will be carried out at baseline, 6th week, 8th week and at 12th week and at 16th week after the discontinuation of treatment. The data will be entered and analyzed by using SPSS 26

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Group A: (Virtual Reality technique + Motor Imagery technique + Routine Physical Therapy)
Participants in this group will receive Virtual Reality (VR) for and Motor Imagery (MI) training with routine physical therapy for every alternate day (3 days per week) for 12 weeks. Total 45 minutes of session.
Routine physical therapy protocol will be given for 30 minutes. VR techniques for 10-15 minutes MI techniques for 05-10 minutes
Virtual Reality technique + Motor Imagery technique + Routine Physical Therapy
Routine physical therapy for 30 minutes is explained as: warm up for 10 mins, stretching of lower limb and upper limb for 10 min, task specific training, gait training and balance training exercises for 15min, strengthening exercises for 10 min
Group B: (Virtual Reality + Routine Physical Therapy )
The VR system consisted of a wall-mounted display, a Nintendo Wii box, a Wii remote, and a Wii Fit board. The participants will be instructed to stand on Wii Fit board while interacting with the VR system and playing the selected games.
Routine physical therapy protocol will be given for 30 minutes along with cycling and walking for 10-15 minutes.
VR techniques for 10-15 minutes.
Virtual Reality + Routine Physical Therapy
Routine physical therapy protocol will be given for 30 minutes along with cycling and walking for 10-15 minutes.
VR techniques for 10-15 minutes The first eight weeks focus on simple activities to enhance balance and motor function, such as tennis, boxing, bowling, kicking, soccer, table tilt, penguin slide, tilt city, single-leg extension, and torso twist. Exercise difficulty is adjusted based on performance, gradually progressing from easier to more challenging activities.
Group C: (Motor Imagery +Routine Physical Therapy)
During the presentation of a video clip, patients will watch the video and afterwards try to do movement as same as shown in video.
Routine physical therapy protocol will be given for 30 minutes along with Cycling and walking for 10-15 minutes MI techniques for 10-15 minutes
Motor Imagery +Routine Physical Therapy
Routine physical therapy protocol will be given for 30 minutes along with Cycling and walking for 10-15 minutes MI techniques for 10-15 minutes The motor imagery program me will be performed in three steps; STEP I: The patients will watch the videos recorded by the examiner. STEP II: The patients will be asked to close their eyes, focus, and imagine how they are doing the task they had previously observed ten times.
Step III: The patient will be asked to attempt the activity with his affected limbs according to the verbal command of the examiner Routine physical therapy for 30 minutes is explained as: warm up for 10 mins, stretching of lower limb and upper limb for 10 min, task specific training, gait training and balance training exercises for 15min, strengthening exercises for 10 min.
