Effect of Lower Limb Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Combined With Core Stability Training Versus Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Alone on Balance and Functional Mobility in Chronic Stroke Survivors
Sponsor: Ibadat International University, Islamabad
Summary
This randomized controlled trial compares lower limb proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) combined with core stability training versus lower limb PNF alone in chronic stroke survivors. The study aims to determine whether adding core stability training produces greater improvements in dynamic balance and functional mobility.

Interventions
Lower Limb PNF Combined with Core Stability Training
Lower limb PNF (D1/D2 diagonal and spiral patterns, rhythmic stabilization, functional PNF patterns) plus core stability exercises including bridging, planks, Swiss-ball activities and core integration; 5 times/week for 6 weeks; 30-35 minutes/session
Lower Limb PNF alone
Lower limb PNF using D1/D2 diagonal and spiral patterns, rhythmic stabilization and functional PNF patterns without added core stability exercises; 5 times/week for 6 weeks; 30-35 minutes/session.
