To compare effects of otago exercises and Gaze stabilization exercises on Balance, gait and quality of Life in elderly stroke patients
Study design will be a randomized clinical trial . Total 46 stroke patients will be recruited from Riphah Rehabilitation center and General hospital, Lahore by using non-probability convenience sampling technique. Patients will be randomized and allocated into two intervention groups based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients in group A will receive Gaze Stabilization Exercises with conventional baseline treatment and group B patients will receive Otago Exercises with conventional baseline treatment. Patients will receive treatment of 40 minutes per session for 5 days a week for 8 weeks. Berg Balance Scale, Dynamic Gait Index and Stroke specific quality of life will be used as assessment tools. Data will be analyzed by using SPSS 26 version.

| Berg Balance Scale | Berg Balance Scale Most reliable balance measuring tools for people suffered from stroke known as Berg Balance Scale. There are 14 questions in it, which aims at testing balance while sitting, standing, or performing specific movements. The total score on the Berg Balance Scale ranges from 0 to 56. 41-56: Have good balance and are at a low risk of falling. 21-40: Individuals have an increased risk of falling and may benefit from interventions to improve balance. 0-20: Individuals in this range have a significant balance impairment and are at a high risk of falling, requiring more intensive intervention and possibly assistance with mobility. Most of researches supported the validity and reliability of the BBS especially with stroke patients with high interclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) 0. 90 | 10 months |
| Dynamic Gait Index | Dynamic Gait Index A tool for assessing gait, balance and fall risk in stroke patients is known as Dynamic Gait Index. It involves eight generic movements that are representative of common gait problems like turning the head while walking, stepping over an object, or changing speed. Consist of total 0-24 score . Between 22-24: Normal and < 19: Abnormal. Scores below 19 are indicative of gait dysfunction . Dynamic Gait Index validity is 0. 90. The overall reliability was high (overall intra-class correlation coefficient = .96 | 10 months |
| Stroke-Specific Quality of Life (SS-QOL) | Stroke-Specific Quality of Life (SS-QOL) is a specially developed tool for estimating the quality of life of stroke survivors. SS-QOL scale consists of 49 items, comprises 12 domains include Energy, Family Roles, Language, Mobility, Mood, Personality, Self-care, Social Roles, Thinking, Upper Extremity Function, Vision, and Work/Productivity. Each item is scored on a 5-point Likert scale. where 1 indicates the most severe impairment and 5 indicates no impairment. The total score can range from 49 to 245, with higher scores representing better quality of life. In the SS-QOL domains, the Cronbach's alpha coefficients are generally provided with values of between 0. 73 and 0. 96. Concurrent validity was high with r = 0.94-0.95 | 10 months |
