Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Neurological status of legs is assessed using the lower extremity subscale of Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA-LE) at baseline, 3 weeks and 3 months.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1. Postural control is measured using the Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke at baseline, 3 weeks and 3 months 2. Body balance function is measured using the Berg Balance Scale at baseline, 3 weeks and 3 months 3. Activity of daily life is measured using the Barthel Index at baseline, 3 weeks and 3 months 4. Mobility function is measured using the Timed Up and Go test at baseline, 3 weeks and 3 months	—
