Background: Upper limb paresis is a common problem in patients with stroke. Objectives: To determine the effect of core stability exercises on upper limb function and trunk balance in hemiparetic patients. Subjects: Thirty patients with hemiparesis, with age between 45 and 60 years, and with illness duration of more than 6 months. They were assigned into two equal groups, the control group, Group A: with 15 patients who received only conventional physical therapy program; the study group, Group B: with 15 patients who received conventional physical therapy program and additional core muscle training. Patients received 18 sessions for 6 weeks, three sessions/week. Methods: The upper limb function was assessed using Wolf motor function test with subscales (function ability scale, time, and grip strength), the range of motion of shoulder flexion and abduction was measured by using goniometer, trunk balance was assessed using the trunk impairment scale with subscales (static sitting balance, dynamic sitting balance, and coordination). All measurement outcomes were assessed before and after applying the treatment program. Results: There was no statistical significant difference between two groups in pretreatment assessment using wolf motor function test, trunk impairment scale, and shoulder range of motion. In post treatment assessment, there was no statistical significant difference between group A and group B in all the outcome measures, except for trunk impairment subscale (dynamic sitting balance); the statistical significant difference was in favor of group B. Conclusion: Core muscle training is similar to conventional physical therapy program in improving upper limb function in hemiparetic patients, and has beneficial effect on improving trunk balance.

“…27 participants were randomly assigned with computer lottery study group (UECE; n=14) and control group (simple upper extremity exercise [SUEE]; n=13). The UECE applied in this study was a revised version of that used in a previous study [17,18]. Generally, upper limb exercise methods did not emphasize the stabilization of the shoulder, and the compensatory action of the opposite side occurred.…”

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of upper extremity coordination exercise (UECE) during standing on the paretic side on balance, gait ability and activities of daily living (ADL) in persons with stroke. Design: A randomized controlled trial. Methods: A total of 27 patients with hemiplegic diagnosis after stroke were divided into two groups. Fourteen patients were in the study group and 13 patients were in the control group. The study group received conventional physical therapy and UECE during standing on the paretic side. The control group received conventional physical therapy and simple upper extremity exercise (SUEE). Subjects in both groups were given upper extremity training for 30 minutes per day, five times a week for 4 weeks. Initial evaluation was performed before treatment and reevaluated 4 weeks later to compare the changes of balance, gait ability and ADL (Korean version of modified Barthel index, K-MBI). Results: Both groups showed a significant effect for balance, gait ability and ADL (p<0.05). In the Independent t-test, between both groups showed a significant effect for balance and gait ability except ADL (p<0.05). Conclusions: In this paper, we investigated the changes in balance, walking, and ADL through UECE. We found significant changes in the study group and the control group. Results of the present study indicated that UECE during standing on the paretic side for 4 weeks had an effect on balance, gait ability and ADL (K-MBI) in persons with hemiplegia after stroke.

“…Adhesive capsulitis is defined as capsular thickening and dense adhesions that leads to restriction in active and passive range of motion (ROM) with development of scapular dyskinesis. 1 There is progressive stiffness with sudden onset of symptoms and slower recovery phase. 2 The prevalence of AC is approximately 2-5% in general population.…”

Background: Adhesive capsulitis is a painful condition comprises of reduced glenohumeral joint movement and the scapular neuromuscular facilitation techniques is considered effective, non-invasive approach for treating this condition. Objective: To compare the effects of neuromuscular facilitation techniques on clinical outcomes in patients with adhesive capsulitis. Methods: This trial was registered in ClinicaTrials.gov (ref: NCT05151783) and approval was taken (IRB No. 818-II). This single-blinded randomized controlled trial was conducted on patients (n=96) having adhesive capsulitis in six months. Non-probability purposive sampling technique was used for randomization via sealed envelope method. Conventional group received routine physiotherapy including ultrasound, hot packs, shoulder range of motion, stretching exercises, and joint mobilization five times per week for four weeks with 40 minutes’ duration of each session. Glenohumeral joint distraction, caudal, dorsal, and ventral glides were given at a rate of 2-3/second oscillations for 1-2 minutes to patients. Visual analogue scale, functional activity was calculated at baseline, 2nd and 4th week. The descriptive statistics (continuous variables) values for each variable in form of means and standard deviations were calculated and their p-values were also calculated using an independent sample t-test. For the qualitative data (categorical variables), frequency and percentage were estimated. Frequencies and percentages of different variables like gender had also been calculated. Repeated measure analysis of variance (ANOVA) was calculated to calculate within-group differences in the mean of each variable between the assessment points. Results: Test of within subject effects showed significant difference for all variables at follow-up and difference between groups also showed significant difference at different follow-ups (p-value≤0.001). Both groups showed statistically significant results (p≤0.001), but scores were higher in experimental group. Conclusion: Scapular proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique along with routine physical therapy are more effective as compared to routine physical therapy alone in patients with adhesive capsulitis.
