Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: The study will involve patients aged 40-65 who are experiencing physical impairments following an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. These patients will have confirmed brain lesions visible on CT or MRI scans. Patients should be in stages II-IV of lower limb motor function, as classified by the Brunnstrom stage classification for hemiplegia, a Grade 2 rating on the Tardieu scale for spasticity. For Motor Imagery Training (MIT), patients must meet several criteria: they need to have a score above 26 on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and a score of 25 or higher on the kinesthetic and visual imagery questionnaire.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients with acute stroke, patients with other neurological issues example Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Myasthenia gravis, etc patients with a skin allergy or intolerance to tape, lack of sensation or hypersensitivity, skin lesions or swelling, any psychiatric issues, any serious injury/disease or fracture in the lower extremity bone, or joint deep venous thrombus of the lower extremity.
