The Patients from Group A were received Conventional Physiotherapy and Group B received Basic Body Awareness Therapy and Conventional physiotherapy on regular basis for 30 minutes for 3 weeks. The intervention included Basic Body Awareness Therapy which consists of movements along with breathing exercises and massage. Balance, Functional mobility and gait speed were examined using Berg Balance scale, Timed up and Go test and 10 MWT.
