The experimental group received circuit gait training with auditory stimuli using a smartphone metronome application. The training program consisted of eight different activities i.e. tandem walk, one-leg standing, military march, sitting up and forward walk, lateral walk, kicking a ball towards the wall, walking on a set pattern and obstacle walk .Patient will practice each task for 3-4 mints and three times per week.

Berg balance scale
To identify the effect of treatment on dynamic balance. The BBS consists of 14 items scored on a 5 point ordinal scale , ramging from 0-4 ..0 means unable to sit without support .4 means able to sit independently.
Time frame: 6 weeks
Barthel index
it is an ordinal scale that measures functional independence in the domain of personal care and mobility.
Time frame: 6 weeks
Gait speed
it is the time one takes to walk a specific distance on level surface over a short distance. A distance of 3 to 10 meters is measured over a level surface with 2 meters acceleration and 2 meter for decleration
Time frame: 6 weeks
POMA
It evaluates dynamic balance and walking patters.
Time frame: 6 weeks
