AI summary: who the study is looking for
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adults aged 45 to 60 who had one ischemic stroke between two weeks and six months ago and can follow simple instructions.

- 45 to 60 years
- Sex
- All sexes
- Disease stage
- Sub-acute phase of a stroke on one side of the brain caused by a blocked vessel (ischemic), more than two weeks but no more than six months ago. Mild to moderate muscle stiffness (modified Ashworth scale grade 1 or 2).
- Biomarker or test result
- Able to walk for 2-4 minutes, with or without support. Able to understand and follow simple spoken instructions (MMSE 24 or higher).
Main reasons for not taking part
- Stroke that has come back (recurrent stroke)

- Original description
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.Read full original descriptionShow less
