Summary

Stroke is a neurological disease characterized by neurological deficits caused by insufficiency of blood supply to brain. Disruption of blood supply to brain can be due to blockage of blood supply (ischemic) or leakage of blood in brain due to rupture of blood vessel (hemorrhagic). 90.5% of global occurrence of stroke was subjected to modifiable risk factors according to Global Burden of Disease study.

This study aims to compare the effects of core strengthening and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation on static standing balance and plantar pressure in chronic stroke patients.

Conditions

  • Chronic Stroke

Interventions

OTHER

Routine Physical Therapy

Routine physical therapy involving muscle strengthening exercises, range of motion exercises and stretching exercises up to patient's tolerance. Other exercises were pelvic bridging, rolling, sitting and standing exercises, walking practice and balancing in parallel bars, wobble board exercises. Each session was of 60 minutes 5 times weekly for 6 weeks.

OTHER

Routine Physical Therapy+ PNF and Core Stregthening

Routine physical therapy for 20 minutes and additionally PNF technique (rhythmic initiation, and then agonistic reversals were performed in lower extremity in D1 flexion pattern and D1 extension pattern up to patient's tolerance and core strengthening for 20 minutes 5 times weekly for 6 weeks.
