Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Trunk control is an important factor which is disturbed after the stroke. The literature reviews suggest that trunk exercises are required to achieve good trunk stability which is essential for balance, daily functional activities and higher function tasks. By keeping these facts in view present study aims at evaluating the efficacy of PNF techniques \& conventional trunk exercise to improve trunk control in recovery stage hemiplegic patients Objective: To determine Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) Techniques to improve bed mobility, transfer and early trunk control in Stroke patients

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

50 patients was included and allocated into 2 groups, group A consisting of 25 patients who received PNF techniques for trunk to improve trunk control. Group B consisting of 25 patients who received conventional trunk exercises to improve trunk control. Trunk control was assessed pre and post treatment with the help of Trunk Impairment Scale and ICU mobility scale. Data was collected by ICU mobility scale \& Trunk impairment scale

Procedure Group 2 has received conventional trunk exercise program for 45 min/day, 4 days

/ week for the period of 4 weeks the intervention includes static and dynamic functional trunk movement and strengthening exercise to the trunk muscles which includes motor developmental patterns, basic trunk movement, trunk-arm linked movements, trunk-leg linked patterns in sitting, transfer activities, with 2 minutes rest in between the repetition of each set, Progression will be made by increasing the repetition and resistance According to individual ability.
