To find and compare the effect of conventional exercise and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation for early trunk facilitation on functional mobility in hemiplegic individuals.
30 subjects diagnosed with hemiplegia were included on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria in this study. These subjects were allocated in two groups by simple random sampling method. In the study pre and post treatment outcome assessment was taken on Barthel Index. Group A received conventional functional mobility exercises and trunk proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and Group B received only conventional functional mobility exercises for 4 weeks treatment protocol.
30 subjects participated in the study. Intra group comparison results showed statistically significant improvement in Barthel index score in both the groups (p <0.0001). Inter group comparison results showed Group A was statistically significant in showing improvement in Barthel Index score than Group B (p = 0.003).
Group A treated with conventional functional mobility exercises and trunk proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation for early trunk facilitation showed significant improvement in functional mobility than Group B.
