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.
Participants between the ages of 45 and 60 years.
Sub-acute phase of unilateral ischemic stroke.
More than two weeks but no more than six months were included.
Participants should be able to walk with or without support for 2-4 min.
Participants with recurrent stroke; brainstem or cerebellar stroke or hemorrhagic stroke.
