Brief summary: The aim of this study is to determine the combined effects of sensory integration and vestibular exercise on dizziness, fall risk and quality of life.

Detailed description: This randomized controlled trial will be conducted at Mansoorah Teaching Hospital in 7 months after the approval of the synopsis. 38 participants with stroke will be included as per the sample size calculation through the convenience sampling technique. Participants who meet inclusion criteria will be randomly allocated using an online randomization tool into two groups Group A will receive Combine Sensory integration exercise and vestibular exercise with routine physical therapy for 40 minutes and Group B will receive Vestibular exercise with routine physical therapy for 40 minutes. Each group will receive a treatment session of 3 times in week for 6 weeks. The data will be analyzed using SPSS version 24.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Both male and female
* Age between 40years-65years
* those who have been diagnosed with vestibular disorders
* An ability to stand for for 5 minutes without aid measured by 5 times sit to stand test.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Have bilateral or unstable vestibular loss
* Any neurological condition is present
* Active BPPV is present
* Any acute orthopaedic condition is present
* Peripheral neuropathy is present
* Visual impairment not corrected with glasses.
