Brief Summary

This is ROM trail study. Data collected from Rabbani Hospital Lahore . in this study total two groups included control and experimental and sample size was 48 and 24 persons divided in each groups as well. Informed consent was taken from the recruited subjects. Two scales BBS and TIS used to measure the outcomes. Data analyse by ssps V21.0 with a significant level of p valued 0.05. Results were in the favour of experimental group.

Detailed Description

This is ROM trail study. Data collected from Physiotherapy department of Rabbani Hospital Lahore . In this study total two groups included control and experimental and sample size was 48 and 24 persons randomly allocated in each groups as well. In control group conventional therapy given while in experimental group core-stability exercises with conventional therapy given to the patients. while the duration of therapy was 45 minutes per day for 8 weeks. Informed consent was taken from the recruited subjects. Two scales BBS and TIS used to measure the outcomes. Only having first episode of sub-acute stoke patients and diagnosed by Neuro-physician were included in study. Data entered and analysed by SSPS V21.0 with a significant level of p valued 0.05. and the results were in the favour of study means experimental group.

Group	Intervention	Description
control group	Physiotherapy	only conventional therapy given
experimental group	Physiotherapy	core-stability exercises therapy given with conventional therapy

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change from baseline in Trunk impairment scale at week 4	Baseline and 4 weeks	The Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS) is a tool to measure motor impairment of the trunk after stroke. TIS scores on a range from 0 to 23. Static sitting balance, Dynamic sitting balance and Co-ordination will be evaluated by this scale.; * Static sitting balance=7; * Dynamic sitting balance=10; * Co-ordination=6
Change from baseline in Berg balance scale at week 4	Baseline and 4 weeks	Berg balance scale(BBS) used clinical test of a person's static and dynamic balance abilities. BBS comprises a set of 14 items which includes unsupported sitting to unsupported standing and weight shifting while standing unsupported.; * Lower score =1 (Sitting to standing); * Higher score=14 (weight shifting while standing)
