Detailed Description

This study will be conducted to investigate the effects of PNF patterns training on the trunk control, balance, and gait ability of chronic stroke patients. Data will be collected from stroke patients from Government Mian Munshi hospital (DHQ) and Riphah Rehabilitation center. A consecutive sampling technique will be use which is based on 6 months' time period. TIS (Trunk Impairment Scale), BBS (Berg Balance Scale), 10 MWT (Meter Walk Test) will be used as a tool to collect the data. SPSS 21 version will be used for data entry and analysis.

This study will provide the effects of PNF patterns training on the trunk control, balance, and gait ability in chronic stroke patients. All possible patients will be taken using random sampling. Single plane training and diagonal pattern training will use. The subjects will randomly assign to the experiment group (diagonal pattern training) and the control group (single plane training). Diagonal pattern training will modified with proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique's chopping and lifting pattern to create 10 movements.

Informed consent will be taken from all patients.
