简要总结
This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) exercise in addition to conventional physiotherapy for improving upper limb function in individuals with stroke. Thirty participants aged 40-70 years will be randomly divided into a control and experimental group using purposive sampling. The experimental group will receive PNF exercise along with conventional physiotherapy, while the control group will receive only conventional physiotherapy. Participants will be assessed at baseline and after 6 weeks of intervention using the NPRS, Fugl-Meyer Assessment Scale, Action Research Arm Test (ARAT), Modified Ashworth Scale, and Nine-Hole Peg Test. These tools will evaluate motor function, spasticity, and fine motor coordination in both groups. This study will provide valuable insights into the potential benefits of PNF exercise in enhancing upper limb recovery after stroke
