Study Overview
Brief Summary
Few Studies Have Been Conducted To Find The Effect Of Scapular Pnf On Scapular Alignment And Upper Limb Function Also Some Studies Concluded That upper limb Pnf Has Positive Effect On Upper Limb Function In Stroke Individuals But There Is Very Scare Literature On Effect Of Both Upper Limb Pnf And scapular Pnf On Scapular Alignment, Grip Strength And Upper Limb Function In Chronic Stroke Patients. The Result Of This Study Will Provide The Literature Support For This Less Explored Concept Of Effect Of Both Scapular Pnf And Upper Limb Pnf On Scapular Alignment, Upper Limb Function And Grip Strength Which Would Be Beneficial To Facilitate Rehabilitation In Patients With Chronic Stroke.
