Description
Saeed Al Qahtani, Mashael Alsobhi, and Fayaz Khan present a 2026 study asking whether early trunk control predicts how stroke survivors function three months later. Stroke often weakens the trunk, and sitting balance underpins most daily tasks. A quick early test could flag who needs the most rehab effort.
The team first assessed 63 people with acute stroke, grading severity and trunk control. Three months later they rechecked daily living skills, walking freedom, falls, fear of falling, balance confidence, quality of life, and community movement. The study tests which of these outcomes the early trunk score foretold most strongly. Such forecasts can focus therapy where it pays most.
