One hundred and forty hemiplegic patients with osteoporosis of both sexes were chosen randomly. Hemiparetic chronicity ranges from eight to ten years. Their age ranged from 60 to 70 years old. All participants were diagnosed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) as osteoporosis or osteopenia, where T-score was − 1.5 or less. All patients were recruited from Kasr Al-Ainy Hospital, Cairo University. The patients were informed about the aim of the study. All the patients signed a consent form for the participation agreement.
