Introduction: Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability in India. The commoner type is an ischemic stroke, caused by interruption of blood flow to a certain area of the brain. Ischemic stroke accounts for 85% of all acute strokes and 15% of acute strokes are haemorrhagic strokes which are caused by bursting of a blood vessel i.e. acute haemorrhage. The estimated adjusted prevalence rate of stroke range in India, 84-262/100,000 in rural and 334-424/100,000 in urban areas. The incidence rate is 119-145/100,000 based on the recent population based studies. Individuals with stroke-related hemiparesis frequently bear most of their body weight through their uninvolved lower extremity, showing distinct asymmetrical stance and weight bearing. Individuals with stroke-related hemiparesis frequently bear most of their body weight through their uninvolved lower extremity, showing distinct asymmetrical stance and weight bearing.

Aim & Objective: 1. To Analyse Immediate Effect of Compelled Weight Bearing on Balance of Hemi paretic Patient

2. To Analyse Immediate Effect of Compelled Weight Bearing on Gait Velocity of Hemi paretic Patient

Methods: We conducted experimental study among 30 Stroke patients from Pune. Null hypothesis was created followed by alternative hypothesis. We collected data as per inclusion criteria. We used Microsoft excel for data entry and Graph pad instat (version 3.0632) for statistical analysis.

Results: There was significant rise in score on berg balance scale and gait velocity after inserting insole in an unaffected side among patients.
