What this Trial Is About
The goal of this study is to evaluate the combined effects of rhythmic breathing and balance training on balance, trunk control and postural control in patients with sub-acute stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Will there be a difference in combined effects of rhythmic breathing exercises and balance training on balance and trunk control in patients with stroke? * Will there be no difference in combined effects of rhythmic breathing exercises and balance training on balance and trunk control in patients with stroke? The participants will be evenly divided into two groups, * the experimental group will receive rhythmic breathing exercises along with balance training and conventional physical therapy * the control group will only receive balance training and physical therapy. Both the groups will perform their respective exercises for 60 minutes, 3 days a week for consecutive 8 weeks.
