INTRODUCTION: This research was done to find out how well post-stroke therapy works in reducing side effects and improving patient mobility.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study used a randomised control trial design involving 42 post-stroke patients (mean 40 days after onset) with hemiparesis from January to October 2022, who were separated into two groups and randomly allocated to either the experimental group (n=21) or the control group (n=21).
