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 effects of two rehabilitation techniques: stabilizing reversal and rhythmic stabilization versus pelvic proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation in patients who have suffered an ischemic stroke. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups and will undergo their respective interventions for 8 weeks, with assessments conducted at baseline, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks to evaluate trunk control, postural stability, and mobility. The study will utilize various assessment scales to measure outcomes and will analyze the data using appropriate statistical methods.
