Effect of Pelvic Stability Training on Lower Limb Motor Function in Subacute Stroke
A study testing baseline treatment neuromuscular electrical stimulation and stretching exercises for lower limb and Pelvic Stability Training and Neuromuscular electrical stimulation and lower limb passive stretching in people with Stroke, run by University of Faisalabad at 1 site in Pakistan.
Trial summary
A stroke occurs when blood stops flowing through a blood vessel to the brain, typically from a burst blood vessel or a blood clot. Hemiparesis is associated with impairment of motor function in the lower limb(s) and with instability of the pelvis. Read more about this study

About this study
A stroke occurs when blood stops flowing through a blood vessel to the brain, typically from a burst blood vessel or a blood clot. Hemiparesis is associated with impairment of motor function in the lower limb(s) and with instability of the pelvis. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of pelvic stability training on the lower limb motor function after subacute stroke. A randomized clinical trial was conducted with 34 participants (17 in each group). This study will utilize the Non-Probability sampling technique called Consecutive sampling technique. All participants are included/excluded based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria and have signed informed consent (both written and verbal). Participants will be block randomized in to two group, one will get pelvic stability training and lower limb passive stretching and lower limb NMES (Neuromuscular electrical stimulation) and other group will get only lower limb passive stretching and lower limb NMES. Both interventions will be administer over a Eight- week period, thrice a week (alternative days). The results of the study will be pelvic tilt, fugal-meyer assessment lower extremities and cadence of gait. Data will be gathered at baseline and following the 8 week session. Data will be analysed by SPSS 23 program.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing baseline treatment neuromuscular electrical stimulation and stretching exercises for lower limb and Pelvic Stability Training and Neuromuscular electrical stimulation and lower limb passive stretching in people with Stroke, run by University of Faisalabad at 1 site in Pakistan.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Pakistan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Lieza Iftikhar (+923000649149, liezaiftikhar.dpt@tuf.edu.pk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
fugal-meyer (time frame: 8 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 May 2026.
