Aim of the study To evaluate and compare the effectiveness of sensorimotor integration with that of conventional training for improving balance and gait in stroke hemiparesis. Materials and methods The study design used for this research will be comparative study. Data will be taken from Mahatma Gandhi Hospital and Medical College, Jaipur and Mumbai. Results When both the groups were compared using unpaired t-test, sensorimotor group showed significant improvement in all outcome measures (p < 0.0001) except for MCTSIAB conditions 1 and 2 where the difference was not statistically significant.
