Brief Summary
Background: Stroke is clinical defined as a neurological syndrome characterized by acute disruption of blood flow to an area of brain and corresponding onset of neurological defects related to the concerned area of brain. Hemiplegic patient primarily affects the upper limb and lower limb of one side and typically results in flaccidity and difficulties with motor control and function.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Fugl-Meyer Assessment scale(FMA)
The total possible scale score is 226. Points are divided among the domains as follows: Motor score: ranges from 0 (hemiplegia) to 100 points (normal motor performance). Divided into 66 points for upper extremity and 34 points for the lower extremity.
12 Months
Modified ashworth scale( MAS)
The Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) is a clinical tool used to measure spasticity, a velocity-dependent increase in muscle stretch reflexes, by assessing the resistance to passive movement. It's a six-level ordinal scale, ranging from 0 (no increase in tone) to 4 (affected part rigid)

Vojta therapy
EXPERIMENTALBobath therapy
EXPERIMENTALInterventions
Vojta therapy, also known as Reflex Locomotion Therapy, is a specialized physiotherapy technique developed by Czech neurologist Václav Vojta, using sensory stimulation to activate innate movement patterns and improve motor skills, posture, and overall function
Bobath therapy, also known as Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT), is a problem-solving approach to neurological rehabilitation, focusing on motor learning and efficient motor control to improve function and participation in daily activities
