To evaluate the effects of the combining transcranial direct current stimulation with core stability exercises on trunk performance in poststroke hemiparetic patients, the secondary outcome is to evaluate the balance and the functional performance of the participants.
This study will conduct to 60 male and female patients with post stroke hemiparesis with age ranged between 55 to 70 years, the patients will be categorized to two equal groups. * Group A (study group): will receive simultaneously a combination of transcranial direct current stimulation combined with core stability exercise. * Group B (control group): will receive core stability exercise. All patients will be assessed for trunk performance, balance, and functional performance before and after interventions.

Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS).
trunk performance will be assessed by Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS).
Time frame: up to 8 weeks
Berg Balance Scale
Balance will be assessed by berg balance scale, the balance score ranges from 0 to 56, with lower scores indicating increased risk of balance loss and higher scores indicating improved functional mobility. Time up and go test (TUG)n Score \< 10 seconds = normal \< 20 seconds = good mobility; can walk outside alone; does not require a walking aid \< 30 seconds = walking and balance problems; cannot walk outside alone; requires walking aid
Time frame: up to 8 weeks
