Brief summary: Stroke is a leading cause of disability worldwide affecting both male and female especially in older people. Functional independence and locomotion are hampered in stroke, therefore, affecting their quality of life. Objective: To find the comparative effects of activity base therapy vs strength training on gait performance in chronic stroke patients.

Detailed description: It was a randomized controlled trial, conducted in physical therapy department of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital. 20 chronic stroke patients were equally divided into two groups. In group-A patients were treated with activity base therapy and in group-B patients were treated with strength training. Patients were treated for a total of 6 weeks (12 sessions), 1 hour in a day, 3 times per week. Patients were assessed using Timed Up and Go (TUG) test and Fugl Meyer Examination-Lower Extremity (FME-LE). SPSS 25 was used toanalyze the dat
