Overview

Quasi-experimental study evaluates PNF impact on mobility in stroke survivors, suggesting enhanced recovery.

Key Points

  • This research aims to determine how scapular and pelvic patterns of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation affect functional mobility in stroke survivors.
  • Quasi-experimental design over six months with 30 stroke survivors.
  • Group A received scapular and pelvic PNF alongside conventional physiotherapy; Group B received only conventional therapy.
  • Outcome measures included the Barthel Index and Stroke Impact Scale, assessed before and after intervention.
  • Group A showed significant improvement with BI scores increasing from 55.2 to 75.6 (mean difference 20.4, p<0.0001).
  • Group B improved from 56.0 to 66.8 (mean difference 10.8, p=0.0002).
  • SIS scores increased in Group A from 52.4 to 73.8 (mean difference 21.4, p<0.0001) and in Group B from 53.1 to 65.6 (mean difference 12.5, p=0.0003).
