Summary

To compare the effects of core strengthening and PNF on standing balance and plantar pressure in chronic stroke patients

Detailed description

The effects of different exercise regimes and PNF techniques on balance and plantar pressure had been studied. This study focuses on determining the effects of CSE and PNF techniques on developing static standing balance and plantar pressure in stroke patients using PoData

Conditions

• Stroke; Paralysis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	core strengthening exercises	•Group B (experimental group) received routine physical therapy for 20 minutes and additionally PNF technique (rhythmic initiation, and then agonistic reversals were performed in the lower extremity in D1 flexion pattern and D1 extension pattern up to the patient's tolerance and core strengthening for 20 minutes 5 times weekly for 6 weeks. The outcome measure was measured at baseline and 6th-week interval
OTHER	Routine physical therapy	•Group A (control group) will receive routine physical therapy involving muscle strengthening exercises, range of motion exercises, and stretching exercises up to the patient's tolerance. Other exercises were pelvic bridging, rolling, sitting and standing exercises, walking practice and balancing in parallel bars, and wobble board exercises. Each session was of 60 minutes 5 times weekly for 6 weeks
