Abstract
Objective: To compare the unstable surface trunk exercises as against the similar trunk exercises on stable surface, on trunk motor performance, functional balance and functional mobility in stroke patients.
Methodology: In this randomized controlled trial, 30 patients were recruited consecutively from Jinnah Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan. Trunk impairment scale, Time-up-and-go test, and BBS were used to assess trunk performance, balance and fall risk respectively.
Results: Both groups were balanced in term of gender, socioeconomic status, occupation, type of stroke, status of diabetes and hypertension at the baseline. Between groups change score for the BBS scale was 8.93 (6.32-11.54) and favored experimental group (P
