  1. The values for these parameters were recorded during each trial for each participant and are tabulated as Mean ± SD. A decrease in RMS of ML tilt relative to NCW indicated reduced trunk sway. Fall in stance symmetry ratio relative to NCW indicates improved temporal gait symmetry. Increase in %NPA is an indication of improved paretic muscle activity
