Protocol summary

Study aim
To compare the effects of modified otago exercise program (MOEP) and perturbation based balance training (PBT) on reactive postural control and balance in patients with sub-acute stroke.
Design
Parallel group design of 64 patients and single blinded randomized control trial
Settings and conduct
Data will be collected from District Headquarter hospital ,Toba Tek Singh, Pakistan.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Sub-acute stroke patients. Subjects should have stable condition after the stoke incidence. Tolerance of balance and gait tasks without fatigue. Both genders can participate in the study. Age from 50 to 70years. Exclusion Criteria: Patients with any other neurological conditions Patient with visual and vestibular impairment
Intervention groups
Modified otago exercise program: (MOEP) it consists of 17 strength and balance exercises and a walking program, 15 minutes walking before and after strength and balance exercises. Perturbation based balance training: (PBT) is a form of reactive balance training aimed at improving reactive balance control after unexpected external perturbations. Time for perturbation- based balance training will be 60 minutes.
Main outcome variables
Reactive postural control and balance are main outcomes variables. Assessment of reactive postural control: Mini-bestest scale will be used. Each items is scored based on ordinal scale scoring from 0- 3 where 3 representing best performances and 0 representing worst performances.  Assessment of balance: Berg balance scale will be used. Scores range from 0 to 4, with 0 indicating inability and 4 representing independent completion. The total score, out of 56, categorizes balance as impaired (0-20), acceptable (21-40), or good (41-56).

Sample size
Target sample size: 64
Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Randomization will be done through simple random sampling using lottery method. this will be cluster randomization because we had large sample size for two intervention groups with 32 patients in each group. In lottery method , we will assigned a number to patient as 1,23...…64, after which we select a random numbers for each interventions groups, so first 32 selected patients will receive modified otago exercise program and next 32 will receive perturbation based balance training.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
Participants are blind in my study, because they are divided into two intervention groups without knowing it.
