Summary

This study tested two different physical therapy techniques—Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) and Modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (mCIMT)—to see which better improves leg function, balance, and quality of life in people who have had a stroke. 54 adults aged 45-75 with chronic stroke and mild to moderate disability took part. The goal is to give therapists clear evidence on the best approach to help stroke survivors regain independence.
