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.
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.
