Brief Summary

A stroke occurs when blood stops flowing through a blood vessel to the brain, typically from a burst blood vessel or a blood clot. Hemiparesis is associated with impairment of motor function in the lower limb(s) and with instability of the pelvis. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of pelvic stability training on the lower limb motor function after subacute stroke. A randomized clinical trial was conducted with 34 participants (17 in each group). This study will utilize the Non-Probability sampling technique called Consecutive sampling technique. All participants are included/excluded based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria and have signed informed consent (both written and verbal). Participants will be block randomized in to two group, one will get pelvic stability training and lower limb passive stretching and lower limb NMES (Neuromuscular electrical stimulation) and other group will get only lower limb passive stretching and lower limb NMES. Both interventions will be administer over a Eight- week period, thrice a week (alternative days). The results of the study will be pelvic tilt, fugal-meyer assessment lower extremities and cadence of gait. Data will be gathered at baseline and following the 8 week session. Data will be analysed by SPSS 23 program.
