Stroke is one of the leading causes of long-term disability worldwide. Among survivors, limitations in lower limb motor function, balance, and proprioception significantly affect their independence and quality of life. There is a growing need for targeted rehabilitation strategies for stroke survivors, who often experience lower limb impairments that limit independence during a highly active stage of life. Task-oriented training (TOT) helps patients practice real-life movements, while rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS), such as metronome beats, can guide and improve their timing and coordination.

An independent assessor, who is blinded to the group allocations, will be responsible for evaluating study outcomes.
* 30-minute TOT session + RAS (60-110 BPM progression) * Functional gait tasks, obstacle walking, stair climbing, balance tasks * 5 days/week for 8 weeks * Plus 30-minute baseline physiotherapy
* Same TOT structure without rhythmic cues * Functional lower limb tasks, balance training, gait practice * 5 days/week for 8 weeks * Plus 30-minute baseline physiotherapy
