The comparative effects of progressive resistance exercise and task-specific training in Ischemic stroke patients.
Design
Randomized control trial with participants divided into two group progressive resistance exercises and task specific training with 52 sample size.
Settings and conduct
Trial is conducted in the University of Lahore Teaching Hospital with assesser is blinded and physiotherapist is not blinded

Intervention groups
Both groups will receive interventions for 12 weeks, 2 times/week with routine physical therapy for 20 mins before every session. The first intervention group received Progressive Resistance Training for 12 weeks with increased repetitions after every two weeks. The second intervention group received Task Specific Training for 12 weeks with different task after every two weeks
