Stroke is a most important cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. The objective of the study was to find out the pre & post treatment outcome of Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) exercise on gait performance in ambulatory stroke patients. Material and Methods: It was a cross sectional comparative study. 20 ambulatory stroke patients were treated by Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) exercise from 6 to 8 weeks with a frequency of 4 to 6 sessions per week. Functional outcome was assessed by Wisconsin Gait Scale. A pre tested semi structured questionnaire & purposive sampling technique was done to collect data. Results: The mean age of the respondents were 52.55±9.682 years with a range from 40 to 66 years. 70% of the respondents were male and 30% of the respondents were female. The mean BMI of the respondents were 25.365±2.112 with BMI range from 22.4 to 30. Majority of the respondents (65%) were affected in right side hemi paresis followed by left side hemi paresis (35%). The mean Wisconsin Gait scores were 28.50±2.975 with a range from 21 to 34 before treatment. The mean Wisconsin Gait score were 26.10±2.936 with a range from 19 to 31 after treatment which indicates that Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) exercise is effective on gait performance in ambulatory stroke patients that was measured by Wisconsin Gait Scale. There was a significant (p<0.05) effect of Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) exercise on gait performance in ambulatory stroke patients that was measured by Wisconsin Gait scale. Conclusion: Study concluded that Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) exercise is statistically sound & effective on gait performance in ambulatory stroke patients.
