Berg balance scale and trunk impairment scale will be used as clinical outcome measures to evaluate the effectiveness of training method in improving trunk control and balance respectively. Result: Comparison between 2 groups was analyzed using the unpaired t-test. It revealed a statistically significant difference of p-value (p<0.001) between the TIS scoring of group A & B and also showed a showed a statistically significant difference of p-value (p<0.001) between the berg balance scale scorings of group A & Group B.
