INTRODUCTION: Stroke is neurovascular disease caused by interruption of blood flow to brain, result in neurological deficit. Neurological deficits that lead to loss of leg strength and impaired quality of life are two factors that correlate to walking ability Post stroke people have more forward leaning posture with an anteriorly bent pelvis in standing. Facilitation of trunk control, therefore, is used to influence the extremities. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of Pelvic Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation quality of life among stroke patients. MATERIAL AND METHODOLOGY: All patients were screened as per inclusion and exclusion criteria. They were allocated into two groups (5 subjects in each), experimental group (Pelvic PNF + conventional intervention) and control group (conventional group) by using random sampling. Outcomes were measured using Stroke impact scale (SIS – v.3.0) was done before and after intervention, training was given for 5 days in a week for 4 weeks. RESULT: The statistically analysis of data was performed by SPSS [v20]; the statistical significance is set up at P < 0.05, for using t-test for present study. The result shows that there is significant difference between the group mean values during 4 weeks of intervention period and outcome measurement indicates that the pelvic PNF along with conventional therapy was significant effective than conventional therapy alone on balance, gait performance, and quality of life among recovering stroke patients. CONCLUSION: Pelvic PNF along with conventional therapy enhance functional performance, and quality of life among stroke patients.
