Record type: Thesis (Doctoral)

Abstract

This study focussed on three major issues: (1) can we develop a clinical tool to measure trunk performance which takes into account the assessment of selective trunk movements, evaluation of quality of trunk movement and is a valid instrument for measuring rehabilitation outcome? (2) What is the importance of trunk function in relation to motor and functional recovery after stroke? And (3) what is the pattern of recovery of the trunk and is it comparable to the pattern of recovery of arm, leg and functional activity after stroke?
