Furthermore, all trial participants were informed about blind outcome assessments and its importance and requested not to reveal their group allocation on the following occasions: 1. Baseline assessment; both immediately prior to, and after, randomization. 2. On each time when participants were requested to arrange follow-up visits. 3. At the commencement of each follow-up visit The outcome assessor had no access to any study data and therapist/personnel involved in the study, no access to the password-protected study database controlled by the Data Safety and Monitoring Board and no access to completed assessments, treatment notes or questionnaires. The follow-up questionnaire item was used to measure outcome assessor’s awareness of group allocation during follow-up visits. Therapists who provided the care to the patients were unaware of the identity of the assessors. If any support were needed to therapist and assessors, the lead research was responsible to provide all the guidance to them in strict accordance with the Data Safety and Monitoring Board. The Board does not allow the lead researcher to have direct contact and meet with the assessors anywhere except permitted site. In case of provision of any support, he had to provide video-recorded evidence of the support given to the assessors to prevent the breach in blinding. Data analyser was kept blinded by coding groups, participants and their assessments, and he did not have any direct or indirect access to the patients or personnel involved in the study. He was also completely unaware of the aims & objectives of the study. N/A Vascular syndromes of brain in cerebrovascular diseases. Intervention 1: Intervention group: Multidimensional trunk exercises combine with cognitive dual-task for 40 minutes in each session, 5 times per week for 3 months. Instruments used are plinth, physio balls, balance/wobble board, thera-bands timed watch. Flexibility exercises (A & PROM, stretches) 15 minute in each session, 5 sessions in a week for three months. Task-oriented exercises including gait training for 60 minutes per session, 5 sessions per week for 3 months. Instruments used are body weight support treadmill and also depend upon the goals and task of the patients. Intervention 2: Control group: Trunk exercises without dual-task for 40 minutes per session, 5 times per week for 3 months. Instruments used are plinth, physio balls, balance/wobble board, thera-bands timed watch. Flexibility exercises (A & PROM, stretches) 15 minute per session, 5 sessions in a week for three months. Task-oriented exercises including gait training for 60 minutes per session, 5 sessions per week for 3 months. Instruments used are body weight support treadmill and also depend upon the goals and task of the patients.
