Background: Stroke is a leading cause of gait impairment, resulting in long-term disability among adults, and frequently results in impaired mobility or motor function. Aim of study: Was to evaluate the effectiveness of physical training program on quality of muscles and activity level among stroke patients. Design: Quasi- experimental research design was utilized in this study to achieve the aim of this study. Setting: The study was carried out at Neurologic and Psychiatric department, and Physiotherapy unit at Benha University Hospital, Egypt. Subjects: Purposive sample of 60 adult patients with stroke were recruited. Tools: four tools were used to collect data, I: Interview questionnaire as age, sex, marital status, II: Barthel Index Scale to measure independency in Activity of Daily Living (ADL), III: Muscle quality questionnaire; it contained three scales: a- Berg Balance Scale: related to gait-Oxford Scale for measuring muscle strength, c- Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) for measuring muscle tone and IV: Simplified stroke rehabilitation assessment of movement scale. Results: There was a statistically significant improvement in the mean score of daily living activities, body balance, voluntary movement of the upper, lower limb and basic mobility, muscle tone and strength post physical training program implementation (P< 0.001). Conclusion: The physical training program has led to improvement in voluntary movement and basic mobility, activity of daily living, body balance, muscle tone and muscle strength. Recommendation: Applying a physical training program for stroke patients help them to prevent and manage disability that is associated with stroke.
