It focuses on enhancing functional mobility through real-life walking and movement tasks. The program includes five key exercises: walking practice on flat and uneven surfaces with variations in stride length, speed, and direction; reaching and grasping objects of different sizes and weights from sitting and standing positions; sit-to-stand transitions with minimal arm support; stair navigation with handrail assistance; and object manipulation at varying heights and distances. Each session is conducted three times per week for eight weeks, emphasizing repetition and progression to simulate daily functional activities.

It targets the improvement of balance and postural control through strengthening of trunk muscles. Participants will perform four core-focused exercises: bridging to activate glutes and lower back muscles, pelvic tilts to improve pelvic control and lumbar alignment, side planks for lateral trunk stability, and quadruped (bird-dog) movements to challenge dynamic balance. Exercises are performed in sets with specific repetitions or hold times, progressively increasing in difficulty. The sessions are delivered three times per week for eight weeks to enhance core strength and overall stability in stroke patients.
