Eligibility

Sex/Gender
All
Age
45 Years to 60 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: • All men and women will be included in study. • Hemiplegic stroke patients will be included in study • Age between forty five to sixty years old will be included in study. • Patient with static and dynamic sitting balance will be included. • Patients with static standing balance will be included in this study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: All patients had imaging tests to rule out their diagnosis for stroke during the acute stage.• People who frequently have strokes. Patients with peripheral or orthopedic neuropathy, substantial vision field defects, or hemi neglect issues were not included. Hemiplegic stroke not due to a stroke but due to another neurological condition.• Poorly controlled epilepsy: When medicine is being used to treat epilepsy and there haven't been any seizures in a while People who frequently have strokes FES may be used. Pregnancy: The effects of FES on the growing child during pregnancy are unknown. Heart pacemakers: Any electrical activity could interfere with the electrical impulses that the pacemakers send out, rendering them inoperative. Patients with malignant tumors should not be considered since the electrical stimulation's potential to increase local blood flow could promote the growth of the tumor. Exposed metal: In patients with exposed orthopedic metalwork, electrical stimulation in the afflicted area should be avoided Suspected, recognized, or uncontrolled cardiovascular conditions: The circulatory demand brought on by the FES-induced muscular contractions may necessitate taking extra precautions both before and during stimulation delivery. Neurological problems other than ischemic brain injury or hemorrhage that can result in hemiplegic stroke. If the muscles around a fracture that hasn't healed up contract, the fracture may get displaced. People who have cerebellar, brain stem, or bilateral hemisphere lesions.
