Stroke, often caused by cerebral circulation disruption can lead to transient or permanent brain function deficit it is a leading cause of disability and death globally, with a particularly high burden in low- and middle-income countries like Pakistan.
Balance and coordination impairments are common post-stroke, severely impacting patients' mobility and quality of life. While Cawthorne-Cooksey and Frenkel exercises are low-cost rehabilitation techniques known to aid balance and coordination, there is limited evidence comparing their effectiveness in stroke patients. This study aims to evaluate and compare the effects of Cawthorne-Cooksey and Frenkel exercises on improving balance and coordination in post-stroke patients.
Specific goals include determining which protocol leads to faster and more sustained improvements and providing evidence-based recommendations for stroke rehabilitation.
