SUMMARY
This study aims to determine the effects of the Otago Exercise Program (OEP) on falls and balance as well as overall physical performance. Participants will be divided into two groups; control and intervention group. It is a week-long study, the participants will be assessed through the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Time Up and Go (TUG) and Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA).

Treatments
Experimental: Interventional Group
The interventional group will receive both treatment routine physiotherapy and the Otago exercise program (OEP). The OEP is the exercise designed for strength and balance to improve mobility, functional balance and walking. The exercises included in this protocol are 17: strength, balance and walking. The participants will receive this protocol with 10 repetitions while the interval between exercises will not be fixed; patients will be given ample time to relax and recuperate before beginning another exercise, 3 times a week for six weeks and the time duration will be 30 to 45 minutes. The exercises will be progressively administered weekly.
Active_comparator: Control group
The control group will receive routine treatment of physiotherapy for strokes like strengthening of upper and lower limb muscles (knee flexor, hip adductor and ankle dorsiflexor), stretching (hip abductors and ankle plantar flexor), postural awareness, gait and balance training like static and dynamic. The participants will be assessed through baseline assessment.
