The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of slow reversal technique on the cadence in hemiparetic stroke patients. An experimental study was carried out with 24 patients with age group 35 to 55 years. Pre test neurological examination with gait assessment were taken. The patients received treatment sessions for a period of over 3 weeks with each session lasting for 10 minutes given 5 times per week. In post test patient’s cadence was again recorded.Paired t test was used to determine the difference betweenpre & post test results. Conclusion: Slow reversal technique is significantly effective in improving the cadence of hemiparetic stroke patients.
