Brief summary
This study is a comparative study on 2 types of training methods of sit-to-stand training in post stroke individuals.The hypothesis of this study will be to compare the effectiveness of the part-practice approach versus the whole-practice approach in training sit-to-stand on STS performance, muscle strength, functional lower extremity strength, and balance in post-stroke individuals. and to evaluate the effectiveness of the part-practice approach and the whole-practice approach of STS training on the quality of life of post-stroke individuals. This will be a quasi-experimental study and subjects will be allocated to experimental and control groups based on age category and disability level. A blinded assessor will be taking all the measurements.Subjects will undergo 8 weeks of sit to stand training 2 times at physiotherapy department and 3 times at home.
Interventions
Subjects in the experimental group will practice the components of sit-to-stand (STS) movement, followed by STS training for 20 minutes, once a day 2 times a week for 8 weeks. Components of part-practice include backward foot placement followed by forward trunk bending, movement of the knees forward, and extension of hips and knees for final standing alignment. Each of these components will be practiced 10 times before doing sit-to-stand as a whole movement. Subjects will do the exercise in the

Outpatient Department (OPD) of Hospital Rehabilitasi Cheras under the guidance of a trained Physiotherapist . Each of the treatment session will be a one-to-one session. Alternate allocation method will be used to allocate participants into an experimental or control group based on their age and disability level so that both group will have equal subjects with all age and disability level.
