Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients who are medically stable as medically unstable patients may have conditions such as uncontrolled hypertension, cardiac instability, or deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which could increase the risk of adverse events during weight bearing activities during the rehabilitation phase. Also, stroke patients who are medically stable are more likely to tolerate and engage well in therapy, leading to more accurate assessments of weight-bearing. Participants who achieve a score between 19-24 out of 30 on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) for cognitive function, indicating mild impairment to normal cognition
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Participants who have had multiple strokes, as they may have already developed secondary complications.
