BACKGROUND: One of the most frequent determinants of long-term disability in the adults is Stroke which may affect the normal functioning of trunk and hence may disturb balance. Objective: To assess the effects of 'Abdominal Drawing-in Maneuver' and 'Diaphragmatic Breathing Maneuver' in improving the stability of trunk in stroke patients. METHODS: A quasi-experimental study including 36 patients with confirmed diagnosis of the first incident of stroke was conducted. Patients were assigned randomly in two groups ADIM and DBM. Outcome measurements were evaluated using the 'Trunk Impairment Scale'. RESULTS: After 4 weeks of training; 'Trunk Impairment Scale' score improved significantly. Between groups comparison shows that trunk stability significantly improved in the group DBM as compared those in the group ADIM. CONCLUSION: It may be concluded that Diaphragmatic Breathing Maneuver can be an effective technique in improving trunk stability in stroke patients.
