Efficacy of Sensory Reweighting Techniques for Balance and Risk of Fall in Chronic Ischemic Stroke Patients

Participants will receive sensory reweighting-based balance training aimed at improving postural control by enhancing the central nervous system's ability to integrate visual, vestibular, and somatosensory inputs. Training will be conducted three times per week for eight weeks, with 45-minute sessions including warm-up, core balance exercises, and cool-down. Exercises will be performed under altered sensory conditions, such as standing on foam surfaces, performing tasks with eyes closed, head movements during stance and gait, and dual-task activities. Task difficulty will be progressively increased based on individual tolerance while maintaining safety.

Participants will receive conventional balance training without sensory reweighting components. The program will be delivered three times per week for eight weeks, with each session lasting approximately 45 minutes. Exercises will focus on static and dynamic balance tasks such as standing with a narrow base, sit-to-stand practice, and forward/backward walking. No manipulation of sensory input will be included. Training intensity and duration will be matched to the experimental group to ensure comparability of outcomes.
