A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to compare the effectiveness of a Motor Relearning Program and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) on improving balance and gait in patients who are more than six months post-stroke. Conducted at DHQ Hospital Mirpur and FF Hospital Rawalpindi, the study will involve randomized control groups receiving either intervention over a period of six weeks, with assessments using the Berg Balance Scale, 10-meter walk test, and Timed-Up-And-Go test. The outcomes will be measured at baseline and after the intervention to determine which method is more effective for enhancing mobility in chronic stroke patients.
