Brief summary
To compare the effects of Pelvic Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation and multiplanar trunk exercises on balance and functional mobility in stroke patients
Detailed description
Pelvic Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) is antagonized with Multiplanar Trunk. Exercises. The pelvic PNF method implied individualized movements that enhanced equilibrium, gait, and postural alignment. Multiplanar Trunk Exercises aimed at balance, core function, and stability in stroke patients.
Interventions
OTHERPelvic Proprioceptive Exercises

OTHERMultiplanar Trunk Training
Sitting Balance on a Stable Surface Static Trunk Holds with Supportive Surfaces Static Trunk Rotation Seated Trunk Rotation (Right and Left) Seated Lateral Flexion (Right and Left) Seated Anterior-Posterior Weight Shifting Seated Trunk Rotations with Arm Reaching Bridging with Arm Reaches Wall Push-ups Ball Tossing or Catching in Sitting/Standing 5-7 reps of every exercise for 30 minutes for 12 weeks

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Berg Balance Scale (BBS) | 12th week | The BBS comprises 14 items specifically designed to evaluate balance function in older adults. Each item is assigned a score on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 to 4. The cumulative score ranges from 0 to 56, with a higher score indicating superior balance function. |
| Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) | 12th week | In the timed up and go (TUG) test, subjects are asked to rise from a standard armchair, walk to a marker 3 m away, turn, walk back, and sit down again. The TUG test is used to assess dynamic balance, mobility, and the risk of falls. The task consists of getting up from a chair, walking 3 m, turning around, returning to the chair, and sitting down. The test will be repeated 3 times. |
