Pelvic Movement Therapy and Multiplanar Trunk Exercises for Stroke Patients

Is this trial a fit for you?

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

What this trial studies

The trial compares two exercise approaches—pelvic proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and multiplanar trunk training—to see which better improves balance, gait, and posture in chronic stroke patients. Participants must be in the chronic phase, able to sit independently, walk 10 meters with aid, and have adequate cognition. Interventions focus on individualized pelvic movements and core-stabilizing, multiplanar trunk activities. The study is conducted at Al-e-Imran Trust Hospital in Lahore with Riphah International University as lead sponsor.
