A randomized controlled trial of 30 patients with hemiplegia was included in the study. Patient were divided in two groups A&B with 15 patients in each group. Repetitive weight bearing exercises (WBE) and conventional physiotherapy were given to each patient for 1 month. Their measurements were taken on 0, 7th, 15th, and 30th. Exercises were repeated 40 and 20 times in respective groups (A and B). All the parameters measured showed improvement on different days in each group. The group performing increase number of repetitions of weight -bearing exercise showed greatest improvement. Significant improvement was seen in patient performing more number of repetitions of weight -bearing exercises. Patients who have difficulty in forward step standing or doing WBE, less improvement were seen.Keywords
