Aim: To determine the effectiveness of training trunk rotation as a tool in improving weight transmission through the paretic lower limb in subjects with hemiplegia. Methods: Thirty stroke subjects were randomly assigned into control group (n=15) and experimental group (n=15). Interventions: Subjects in the control group received conventional set of exercises alone and the experimental group received conventional set of exercises and trunk rotation training. Main measures: The ability of weight shift in standing, in both groups, was measured using a bathroom scale inserted in a wooden platform for stability. Findings: It revealed that within experimental group and control group there was a statistically significant (p<0.00) increase in weight transmission in affected extremity which signifies that both the intervention had an impact on improving weight transmission in the affected extremity and thereby restoring symmetry. Between group analysis also gave a statistically significant (p<0.00) results by further analyzing the difference in improvement of weight transmission between pre and posttest value associated with experimental group (13.44±3.91kgs) which received conventional exercises plus trunk rotation compared to control group (8.2±3.89kgs) that received conventional exercises alone. Conclusions: Adding Trunk rotation training, along with conventional exercises, results in greater improvement of weight transmission in the paretic extremity compared to conventional exercises alone.
