Effects of Core Strengthening With Pelvic Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation on Trunk Control and Balance in Patients With Sub-acute Stroke

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Stroke

In brief

Purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of core stabilization with pelvic proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation on trunk control and balance which will be provided an evidence-based selection of the best possible intervention to improve trunk function and balance as compared to the trunk control exercises such as Rhythmic stabilization, Bridging, Side-Lying Trunk Lifts, Quadruped, Kneeling and modified plantigrade positioning, which one can provide the better balance and trunk control in sub-acute stroke patients.
