Objective: The study was done to find out the difference in balance score and ADL Score between right and left sided stroke patients. Methods: The study was of an Analytical design, with 30 subjects, 20 were men and 10 were women, all subjects were right handed, assigned into two groups,15 subjects in each, according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and carried out at Physiotherapy O.P.D. of CSS Hospital, Jai Multispecialty Clinic, Physiocare Clinic and residential care centre in and around, Meerut. In oth group balance and ADL were assessed by using the BBS and mBI respectively. The collected data were of mean and standard deviation of balance score and ADL score, and has been analyzed using SPSS software. Mann Whitney U test was used to find the difference between the two groups. Results: The results showed that there were no significant difference in balance and ADL between right and left sided stroke with respect their balance score (p = 0.755).
