Abstract :

 Aim of the study: To find out the efficacy of Core stability strength exercise versus Trunk stabilization exercise on recovery of postural control and balance in sub–acute hemiplegic patients. Methodology: 30 patients with sub acute stage of hemiplegic patients were assigned into two treatment groups. The first group (n=15) treated with Conventional Physiotherapy with Core stability strength exercise. The second group (n=15) was given Conventional Physiotherapy with Trunk stabilization exercise. The effect of 12 weeks treatment was measured by Trunk Impairment scale score (TIS) and Berg Balance Scale score (BBS). Result: After 12 week intervention using Conventional Physiotherapy with Trunk stabilization exercise had a statistically significant improvement on recovery of postural control and balance in hemiplegic patients than conventional Physiotherapy with Core stability strength exercise. Conclusion: The study proves that trunk stabilization exercise in addition to the conventional therapy is more effective on recovery of postural control and balance in hemiplegic patient, than the core stability strength exercise along with conventional therapy. So trunk stabilization exercise in addition to the conventional therapy can be used as an effective treatment programme in improving postural control and balance of sub acute hemiplegic patients.
