Methods: between 45-55 years old left hemisphere dominant sixty males with hemiplegic (30 right side and 30 left side), satisfying the inclusion criteria were chosen for the study. Extended Timed Get Up and Go (ETGUG) test was used to assess the duration of sit to stand, gait initiation, walking, turn around, sitting down, and speed of the walk. Independent?t__ampersandsignlsquo; test was used to compare the components of both the groups.&#13;
Results: The findings showed that there were significant durational changes in the various components of&#13;
ETGUG test between right side and left side hemiplegic subjects.&#13;
Conclusion: The gait rehabilitation should be emphasized on standing up, turning and sitting down for left sided hemiplegics and gait initiation, walking and speed for right sided hemiplegics. Temporal and the spatial parameters should be considered during gait training and gait training programme should be given for right and left side hemiplegic subjects differently.&#13;
