Objective(s): This study aims To determine the effect of the Bobath approach versus task oriented approach for motor activity, activity of daily living, and quality of life in young stroke patients.
Methodology: According to inclusion and exclusion criteria 60 patients were allocated in this study from different clinical setups, 30 in each group, and these patients were analyzed after the three months follow-up with three different assessment tools Barthel index scale for assessment of ADLS, motor assessment scale for motor function and SSQOL for quality of life in post-stroke patients
Results:  The study included two treatment groups, Group A and Group B, with an equal distribution of participants. Paired sample t-tests were applied to compare pre and post-treatment measures within each group. The results indicated significant changes in several measures:
Pair 1 (Pre BI vs. Post BI): Barthel Index showed a significant improvement after treatment.
Pair 2 (Pre MA vs. Post MA): Motor Assessment Scale also showed a significant improvement after treatment.
Pair 3 (Pre SSQOL vs. Post SSQOL): However, there were no significant changes in the Stroke-Specific Quality of Life scale after treatment.
Furthermore, independent sample t-tests were conducted to compare the measures between Group
A and Group B. The results showed significant differences in some measures:
Pre-treatment BI and Post-treatment BI: Group A showed a significantly higher improvement after treatment.
Pre-treatment MA and Post-treatment MA: Group A showed a significantly higher improvement after treatment.
Pre-treatment SSQOL and Post-treatment SSQOL: There were no significant differences between Group A and Group B in terms of Stroke-Specific Quality of Life after treatment.

CONCLUSION
This study concluded that both treatments are effective for young stroke patients but the task-oriented approach is more effective than the Bobath treatment approach for the improvement of ADLS, motor function, and betterment quality of life of young stroke patients.
