Poor balance control have a negative influence on the recovery of gait and motor function. Many therapeutic interventions, such as visual feedback training, robotic devices, mirror therapy, and motor imagery training have been performed to improve balance control.\n\nReactive balance training (RBT) has emerged as a potential strategy for improving balance and participants withstood greater-magnitude perturbations before requiring multiple steps, relative to those who completed weight-shifting/gait training in sub-acute and chronic stroke patients.\n\nWhole-body vibration (WBV) therapy used in clinical practice for improving neuro-motor performance in various patient populations and this training reduce disability by improving balance, gait performance, and mobility in stroke patients.\n\nAccording to previous literature there was a lack of comparison of these two studies. In previous literature, both of these therapeutic options i.e., Perturbation based balance training (PBBT) and whole body vibration (WBV) training were used separately to see the effects in stroke population but not in combination. In this study the comparison will be done between these two exercise protocols.
