Pakistan73 participantsStarted 2024-03-10

Plain-language summary

Stroke is a neurological disease characterized by neurological deficits caused by insufficiency of blood supply to brain. Disruption of blood supply to brain can be due to blockage of blood supply (ischemic) or leakage of blood in brain due to rupture of blood vessel (hemorrhagic). 90.5% of global occurrence of stroke was subjected to modifiable risk factors according to Global Burden of Disease study. This study aims to compare the effects of core strengthening and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation on static standing balance and plantar pressure in chronic stroke patients.
