Stroke is a leading cause of functional impairments; Hemiplegia (Falij) is the commonest manifestation of stroke leading to disability. Disability represents the social and societal consequences of functional limitations. It is defined by a patient's inability to perform Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and maintain social and family relationships. Recent studies suggest that more than half of stroke survivors report one or more type of Disability. The primary goals of rehabilitation of people with stroke are making able them to perform daily activities and to walk independently. Physiotherapy plays a pivotal role in rehabilitation but most of the rehabilitation curriculum does not suited to these patients due to their inability to actively participate in these programs and also due to financial burden. Unani system of medicine asserts to possess treatment for Disabilities in Falij. Almost all ancient Unani physicians have advocated Tanqia and Ta’deel as treatment of Falij caused by Balghami Khilt. Recent studies also suggested that Unani medicine is effeftive in alleviating post stroke Disabilities.
