Patients in Interventional group were given trunk rehabilitation and balance training. Patients in control group were given conventional physiotherapy. 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.
