Conditions

Stroke

Summary

To compare the effects of trunk training exercises and lateral truncal tilt balance training on trunk control, balance and activities of daily living in stroke patients.The primary outcome measures used to evaluate the efficacy of each training approach will include the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, assessing mobility and fall risk; the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), which measures functional balance; and the Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS), evaluating trunk control and coordination.

Interventions

OTHERTrunk Training Exercises

Group A will undergo a structured trunk training exercise program focused on strengthening the core muscles involved in trunk control. This program will include both dynamic and static exercises targeting trunk flexion, extension, and rotation, which are critical for improving postural stability and overall trunk coordination. Frequency: Sessions will be conducted three times per week for the duration of 8 weeks. Session Duration: Each session will last approximately 45 minutes, including a warm-up, main exercises, and a cool-down period.

OTHERLateral Truncal Tilt Balance Training

Group B will follow a lateral truncal tilt balance training program focusing on balance improvement through lateral stability exercises. This training emphasizes body tilts and weight shifts to encourage trunk control and postural alignment, particularly targeting the common lateral asymmetries observed in stroke patients. Frequency: Sessions will be conducted three times per week for 8 weeks. Session Duration: Each session will last approximately 45 minutes, including warm-up, main exercises, and a cool-down period.
