Core Strengthening Versus Lower Limb Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Techniques in Chronic Stroke Patients

NCT05707065 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 42

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Stroke is a global healthcare issue that causes increased death rates. Good trunk stability is essential for balance and extremity use during daily functional activities and higher-level tasks. The anticipatory activity of trunk muscles is impaired in stroke patients. The trunk is the central column of the body; therefore, proximal trunk control is a prerequisite for distal limb movement control, balance, and functional activities. The purpose of the study is to highlight the most appropriate rehabilitation technique for trunk stability.
