Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to investigate the combined effect of pelvic and trunk control exercises on muscle performance of affected upper extremity in stroke patients.

Description:

The study conducted on forty stroke patients. They assessed by Biodex System 3 Pro Isokinetic, Modified Ashworth Scale(MAS), Fugel Meyer Assessment scale (FMAS), Box and block test and hand grip dynamometer. Patients divided into control group and study group. The control group treated by a traditional physical therapy program.The study group treated by the traditional physical therap program in addition to pelvic and trunk control exercises for 40 min.

Intervention

Other:
• Pelvic and trunk control exercises
Patients in this group will be treated by the traditional physical therapy program in addition to a 18 sessions of pelvic and trunk control exercises for 40 min included abdominal drawing in maneuver for contraction of transversus abdominis pelvic tilting exercises and pelvic stabilization exercises from different positions. Pelvic tilting exercises included; anterior, posterior, lateral pelvic tilting and pelvic rotation on a therapeutic ball. Pelvic stabilization exercises include bridging, half bridging, clamshell from supine and side lying, quadribed exercises, weight shifting on the affected limb from standing by forward and diagonal reach out, ball bridging and rhythmic stabilization exercises
