Participants will receive 45-minute individualized training sessions, 3 times a week for 8weeks. The duration and intensity will be varying. Balance training and dual task training programs will be effective in improving balance function and dual-task performance in post stroke patients respectively The balance training program will use progressive activities related to body stability (e.g., standing with eyes closed, tandem standing, and standing on compliant surfaces), to body stability plus hand manipulation (e.g., standing on foam with rapid alternating hand movement or while throwing and catching a ball, and tandem standing while holding a basket), then body transport (e.g., narrow walking, walking backward, and transferring from 1 chair to another), and finally body transport plus hand manipulation. The participants receiving dual-task training with fixed-priority instructions will practice balance tasks while simultaneously performing cognitive tasks, and will be instructed to m

Repetitive task training Participants would encouraged to perform arms and legs movement in different directions as quickly. This programme is comprised of functional tasks, embedded in routine everyday activities completed on the ward or at home. This aims to make the programme highly relevant to participants, promote 'carry over' into real life situations, and encourage self-practice. Recovery activities like: washing, dressing and eating/ drinking. Participants will be asked to practice each selected recovery activity independently for up to 20 times, twice per day. To performs RTT, the therapist selects a task relevant to the patient's daily activities-such as sit-to-stand transfers, stepping exercises, or walking-and guides the patient through high repetitions of that task. For example, a lower limb RTT session may include 3 sets of 10-15 sit-to-stand repetitions, step- ups on a low platform, or repeated 10-meter walking laps. Session time typically varies is repeated 3 times per
