Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The randomized clinical trial will be conducted at various physical therapy clinics of Faisalabad over a six-month period, enrolling a total of 32 participants selected through non probability convenience sampling technique. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: those undergoing Neuropilates and those performing Otago exercises, with each group consisting of 16 individuals. Assessments will utilize the TUG (Timed Up and Go) to evaluate balance, the Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients (PASS) for posture, and the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) for functional independence. Pre-intervention assessments will establish baseline measures, followed by evaluations at 4 weeks, and post-intervention to track progress. Data analysis will be conducted using SPSS 26 software, allowing for a comprehensive comparison of the interventions' effectiveness. The findings from this study will contribute valuable insights for clinicians and rehabilitation specialists, enhancing therapeutic strategies to support chronic stroke patients in regaining their independence.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Group A : Neuropilates
This group will receive 50 minutes session of Neuropilates thrice a week for total of eight weeks which will include activation warm-up exercises for 10 minutes, main exercises for 30 minutes and cool-down exercises for 10 minutes
neuropilates
50 minutes session of Neuropilates thrice a week for total of eight weeks which will include activation warm-up exercises for 10 minutes, main exercises for 30 minutes and cool-down exercises for 10 minutes
Group B : Otago Exercise Program
This group will receive 50 minutes each session of Otago exercise thrice a week for total of eight weeks which will include, muscle strengthening, balance training and 2x week 30 minutes walking session. Depending on the individual's strength and mobility, the exercises will be progressed, by increasing the amount of repetitions or weight
otago exercises
50 minutes each session of Otago exercise thrice a week for total of eight weeks which will include, muscle strengthening, balance training and 2x week 30 minutes walking session. Depending on the individual's strength and mobility, the exercises will be progressed, by increasing the amount of repetitions or weight
