Brief Summary
|
sitting balance is an important predictor of mobility and independence following stroke and depends on coordinated trunk and hip muscle control for pelvic stability although trunk focused exercises are commonly used in stroke rehabilitation the contribution of targeted hip muscle training to sitting postural control is less explored this study aims to evaluate the effect of targeted hip flexor and extensor strengthening on sitting balance pelvic stability and functional control in individuals with early subacute stroke |
