Pelvic PNF and trunk training for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether combining pelvic PNF (a therapy that uses specific patterns to improve movement) with trunk training can help people with chronic stroke walk better and improve balance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had one stroke and it has been at least 6 months since that stroke
- You can sit up on your own without help
- You can walk 10 meters (about 33 feet) using a cane, walker, or other aid if needed
- You have no major memory or thinking problems (a mini mental test score of 24 or higher)
- You have not had spine or leg surgery in the last month, and no unstable heart conditions
- You do not have other conditions like Parkinson's or a broken bone in your spine or leg

This study compares two types of physical therapy exercises to see which one better helps stroke survivors improve trunk control, balance, and daily activities. It may be a good fit if you had an ischemic stroke and are between 6 months and 1.5 years into recovery.
This study tests whether special exercises focused on stabilizing your pelvis (hip area) can help improve leg strength and movement after a stroke. The training is designed for people in the early recovery phase who are learning to stand and walk again.
This study tests whether a specific type of hands-on leg training (called PNF) can help stroke survivors walk better, stay balanced, and do daily activities more independently. You'll work with a therapist who uses guided movements to retrain your leg muscles and nerves.
This study tests a nurse-led program to help stroke patients improve their trunk control while in the hospital. It is designed for patients who have trouble with trunk movement and need extra support during recovery.
This trial tests if adding special hip exercises to core strengthening can improve trunk control and balance in people who had a stroke 2 weeks to 6 months ago. It may help those who can still walk a little.
This study uses special motion-tracking tools to measure balance and trunk control in people with first-time stroke, Parkinson’s, or multiple sclerosis. It aims to understand how these conditions affect stability, which could help tailor rehabilitation.
