Physical Therapy in the treatment of trunk control and balance of patients after stroke

You'll have to ask your doctor to get the protocol for this since we have NO public database of stroke research and protocols.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to assess the degree of static balance alteration, dynamics, and impairment of the trunk after stroke in patients divided into two groups: one that performed a specific physiotherapy protocol and another that continued the physiotherapy care routine without following the intervention group protocol. This was a quantitative, exploratory, interventional, experimental, and descriptive study. Six patients were evaluated with the Scale of Disabilities of the Trunk (SDT) and Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and subsequently divided into intervention group (IG) and control group (CG). The patients who were in the IG had increased scores in both scales on the final assessment; however, it being a small sample, the results were not statistically significant. Results indicate that a specific protocol to work with trunk control and balance is extremely important for patients after stroke, because it facilitates the performance of daily activities and promotes improvement in gait, thus diminishing the risk of falls.
