Abstract
Trunk control is considered an important predictor for functional outcome after stroke. Therefore incorporating exercises to increase trunk control is of great importance during stroke rehabilitation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of trunk training on trunk control, standing balance and gait. Results showed that trunk training is able to improve the total score of Trunk Impairment Scale (Z = 16.21, p < 0.0001), Berg Balance Scale (Z = 4.50, p < 0.0001) and Timed Up and Go test (Z = 3.72, p < 0.0001). Consequently, we recommend to incorporate trunk training in standard care after stroke.
