Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation and pilates based core stability training on gait and balance in stroke patients The main questions it aims to answer are
is there an effect of transcranial direct current stimulation and pilates based core training on gait and balance
Is there a significant effect of tDCS over Pilates-based core training
Participants will be assigned to three groups
Group 1 will receive 18 sessions3 sessionsweek 20 minutes each of anodal tDCS in addition to conventional physical therapy exercises
Group 2 Will receive 18 Pilates exercise sessions over a period of 6 weeks 3 sessions week in addition to conventional physical therapy exercises
Group 3 Will receive conventional physiotherapy program
Researchers will compare the transcranial direct current stimulation group with the pilates exercise group to see if one of them is superior to the other on balance and gait

Detailed Description:
The ultimate goal for rehabilitation is to enhance functional performance in various essential real life activities There is a need for a more effective cost-efficient treatments for balance and gait in stroke patients Many studies have reported that Pilates exercise has positive effects in development of muscular strength endurance flexibility and in prevention of falls in elderly population and in orthopedic rehabilitation However there are only a few studies available with Pilates as intervention in neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis Parkinsons disease and stroke This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of Pilates exercise on balance in post stroke survivors and thereby provide an evidence for further studies in neurological conditions Transcranial direct current stimulationtDCS is a promising noninvasive neuromodulatory intervention that aims to maximize recovery of function after stroke There are numerous arguments to suggest that tDCS may become interesting tools to promote gait and balance improvement in stroke patients The ability of these techniques to modulate cortical excitability was demonstrated However very few study has examined the effect of stimulating the SMA with tDCS on balance and gait performance Motor learning is crucial in human daily life both throughout the lifespan as well as for the recovery from a variety of neurological diseases The ability of both exercise such as pilates and non invasive neuromodulation such as tDCS to modulate cortical excitability and therefore enhance motor learning has been demonstrated Therefore the aim of this study is to compare the effect of a Pilates-based core training program and tDCS over the supplementary motor area on balance and gait in stroke patients
