Stroke is major cause of mortality and long term adult disability and has a significant physical and psychosocial impact on individuals. The loss of upper limb function in chronic stroke directly impacts on trunk stability and shoulder girdle stability on affected side. Trunk stability is essential for optimal functioning of the upper limb; good shoulder function is pre-requisite for effective hand function where trunk provides stable base for execution of upper extremity function in accomplishing activities of daily living. Fifty five subjects suffering from chronic stroke were enrolled in this study were randomized and divided into two groups group A received shoulder girdle dynamic stabilization exercise and group B received shoulder girdle dynamic stabilization exercise along with it conventional physical therapy three times per week for six weeks. Subjects were assessed for recovery of trunk stability and hand function with TIS, FMA and NHPT after 6 weeks of intervention there was no statistically differences between the two groups with regards to trunk stability, upper limb functions and dexterity function the findings in this study has been influenced by small sample size
