Stroke patients frequently experience impairments in trunk control and balance, critical factors for independence in activities of daily living (ADLs). Two promising therapeutic approaches include Trunk Training Exercises (TTE) focusing on core stability and Lateral Truncal Tilt Balance Training (LTT), which targets balance and postural alignment through controlled lateral movements. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of these two interventions in improving trunk control, balance, and ADLs in stroke patients, potentially leading to optimized rehabilitation practices. A randomized clinical trial will be conducted at Jinnah Hospital, Lahore. Participants aged 40 75, diagnosed with sub-acute stroke, will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: Group A, which will undergo trunk training exercises (TTE), and Group B, which will receive lateral truncal tilt balance training (LTT). Each intervention will last for eight weeks and thrice a week, with a session of 45 minutes including warm-up exercises, main exercises and cool down period during which participants will engage in their respective training regimens. To assess the impact of these interventions, baseline measurements will be taken prior to the intervention and compared to post-intervention results. The primary outcome measures used to evaluate the efficacy of each training approach will include the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, assessing mobility and fall risk; the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), which measures functional balance; and the Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS), evaluating trunk control and coordination. Data analysis will be conducted using SPSS software (version 25). To determine the distribution of data, the Shapiro-Wilk Test will be performed. If the data is not normally distributed, the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test will be used to analyze within-group differences, while the Mann-Whitney U Test will assess differences between groups at each interval. For normally distributed data, Paired Sample T-tests will compare pre- and post-intervention scores within each group, and Independent Sample T-tests will evaluate changes between groups.\n\nInclusion criteria is:\n\nPatients with ischemic stroke Both male and females Age 40-75 years Patients diagnosed with sub-acute stroke after six months to 1.5 years of diagnosis Patients able to walk 10 meters independently Score less than 21 on trunk impairment scale Patients with score 24 or more on MMSE\n\nExclusion criteria is:\n\nPatients with score more than 2 on modified Ashworth scale will be excluded Chronic patients will not be included in the study.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '75 Years', 'minimumAge': '40 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients with ischemic stroke\n* Both male and females\n* Age 40-75 years\n* Patients diagnosed with sub-acute stroke after six months to 1.5 years of diagnosis\n* Patients able to walk 10 meters independently\n* Score less than 21 on trunk impairment scale\n* Patients with score 24 or more on MMSE\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients with score more than 2 on modified Ashworth scale will be excluded\n* Chronic patients will not be included in the study.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT07248618', 'briefTitle': "Comparison of TTE and LTTBT on Trunk Control, Balance and ADL's in Stroke Patients", 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Riphah International University'}, 'officialTitle': 'Comparison of Trunk Training Exercises and Lateral Truncal Tilt Balance Training on Trunk Control, Balance and Activities of Daily Living in Stroke Patients', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'REC/02102'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Trunk Training Exercises', 'description': 'Core Stabilization Exercises, dynamic trunk exercises, bridging exercises', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Trunk Training Exercises']}, {'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Lateral Truncal Tilt Balance Training', 'description': 'Seated lateral tilts, Standing Lateral Weight Shifts, balance board tilts, Stability Ball Exercises, lateral Reaches on Unstable Surface', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Lateral Truncal Tilt Balance Training']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Trunk Training Exercises', 'type': 'OTHER', 'description': 'Group A will undergo a structured trunk training exercise program focused on strengthening the core muscles involved in trunk control.
