Read our Stroke research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether two different exercise approaches help stroke patients regain balance and trunk control. One group will do core stabilization and trunk exercises, while the other group will do lateral balance and weight-shifting exercises. Both programs last 8 weeks, and researchers will measure which one helps patients move better and become more independent.
After a stroke, many patients struggle with balance and trunk control, which makes it hard to do everyday activities and increases fall risk. This trial exists to figure out which type of exercise program works best for helping stroke patients regain these critical abilities.

You will visit Jinnah Hospital in Lahore three times per week for 8 weeks. Each session lasts 45 minutes and includes a warm-up, your assigned exercises (either core and trunk exercises or balance and lateral weight-shifting exercises), and a cool-down. Researchers will test your balance, walking ability, and trunk control before you start and again after the 8 weeks to see how much you've improved.
