About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if adding scheduled home-based rehabilitation to clinic-based rehabilitation improves walking ability and daily activities in people aged 40 to 50 with sub-acute stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does adding home exercises improve walking ability in people with sub-acute stroke? * Does adding home exercises improve the ability to do daily activities in people with sub-acute stroke? Researchers will compare clinic-based rehabilitation plus home-based rehabilitation to clinic-based rehabilitation alone to see if adding home exercises leads to better recovery after stroke.
Participants will:
* Attend physical therapy at the hospital 3 days per week for 12 weeks * Do walking practice, balance training, and leg exercises at the clinic * Do home exercises including marching, step-ups, sit-to-stand, and balance exercises on non-clinic days (home exercise group only) * Track home exercises using a weekly logbook * Be tested at the start and after 12 weeks

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Timed Up and Go Test (TUG)
Assesses functional mobility, balance, and gait performance. The patient stands up from a chair, walks 3 meters, turns, walks back and sits down. Time is recorded in seconds. Higher time indicates poorer mobility.
Lawton-Brody Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale (IADL)
Assesses functional performance in daily living activities including telephone use, shopping, food preparation, housekeeping, laundry, transportation, medication management, and financial management. Scores range from 0 (fully dependent) to 8 (fully independent) for women and 0 to 5 for men."
