To compare the effects of core strengthening and PNF on standing balance and plantar pressure in chronic stroke patients
The effects of different exercise regimes and PNF techniques on balance and plantar pressure had been studied. This study focuses on determining the effects of CSE and PNF techniques on developing static standing balance and plantar pressure in stroke patients using PoData

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Group A | Active Comparator | • Group A (control group) will receive routine physical therapy involving muscle strengthening exercises, range of motion exercises, and stretching exercises up to the patient's tolerance. Other exercises will be pelvic bridging, rolling, sitting and standing exercises, walking practice and balancing in parallel bars, and wobble board exercises. Each session will be of 60 minutes 5 times weekly for 6 weeks |
|
| Group B | Experimental | Group B (experimental group) will receive routine physical therapy for 20 minutes and additionally PNF technique (rhythmic initiation, and then agonistic reversals will be performed in lower extremity in D1 flexion pattern and D1 extension pattern up to patient's tolerance and core strengthening for 20 minutes 5 times weekly for 6 weeks. The outcome measure will be measured at and 6th week interval |

The outcome measure was measured at baseline and 6th-week interval |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Static Standing balance | It is measured using static component of berg balance scale. The items are scored from 0 to 4, with a score of 0 representing an inability to complete the task and a score of 4 representing independent item completion. Static component score is calculated out of 24 possible points. Scores of 0 to 9 represent static balance impairment, 10 to 15 represent acceptable static balance, and 15 to 24 represent good static balance | 6 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Plantar pressure | PoData (Chinesport, Italy Version 5.0) this system provides information about weight distribution by measuring total body weight on fifth, first metatarsal and heel For a healthy individual the normal distribution is as follows 16.67% of the total body weight on the fifth metatarsal head, 33.33% of the total body weight on first metatarsal. 50% of the total body weight on heel | 6 months |
