Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the importance of core strength for stroke recovery and examines whether adding Core Stability Exercises (CSE) to conventional physiotherapy (CP) enhances recovery outcomes.
- Eighty-seven early stroke survivors were divided into two groups: one receiving CSE alongside CP and the other receiving only CP, with assessments conducted before and after a 5-week intervention.
- Results showed that the experimental group experienced significant improvements in dynamic sitting balance, trunk coordination, lower limb spasticity, and overall balance compared to the control group, suggesting that incorporating CSE may be beneficial for stroke rehabilitation.

Trunk impairment produces disorders of motor control, balance and gait. Core stability exercises (CSE) are a good strategy to improve local strength of trunk, balance and gait. Methods and analysis: This is a single-blind multicenter randomized controlled trial.

Background: Function in Sitting Test (FIST) is a clinical functional assessment of sitting balance validated in adults with stroke. For a major use of this, the test is recommended to be translated in Spanish-speaking countries.
Objectives: Translate to Spanish the FIST and determine its intra-rater and inter-rater reliabilities and concurrent validity as a measure of sitting balance in adult individuals with stroke.
