Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) Techniques to Improve Bed Mobility, Transfer and Early Trunk Control in Stroke Patients
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and Conventional treatment for Stroke. Completed, enrolled 50 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Trunk control is an important factor which is disturbed after the stroke. The literature reviews suggest that trunk exercises are required to achieve good trunk stability which is essential for balance, daily functional activities and higher function tasks. By keeping these facts in view present study aims at evaluating the efficacy of PNF techniques \& conventional trunk exercise to improve trunk control in recovery stage hemiplegic patients Objective: To determine Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) Techniques to improve bed mobility, transfer and early trunk control in Stroke patients
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
rocedure 1. Bilateral upper extremity pattern for trunk by Chopping, Lifting 2. Bilateral lower extremity pattern for trunk. 3. Trunk lateral flexion. 4. Combination patterns for the trunk by Upper and lower trunk flexion, Upper trunk flexion with lower trunk extension, Upper and lower trunk extension, Upper trunk extension with lower trunk flexion.
Group 2 has received conventional trunk exercise program for 45 min/day, 4 days / week for the period of 4 weeks the intervention includes static and dynamic functional trunk movement and strengthening exercise to the trunk muscles which includes motor developmental patterns, basic trunk movement, trunk-arm linked movements, trunk-leg linked patterns in sitting, transfer activities, with 2 minutes rest in between the repetition of each set, Progression will be made by increasing the repetition and resistance According to individual ability.
