The Effect of Neuromuscular Control Exercises on the Rehabilitation of General Strength and Overall Balance in Stroke Sequelae for Men with Temporary Hemiplegia Aged (50–55) Years
...Show More Authors

The study aimed to design neuromuscular control exercises for the rehabilitation of men aged (50–55) years with temporary hemiplegia and to identify the effect of these exercises on restoring general strength and overall body balance in stroke sequelae. The researcher hypothesized that there would be statistically significant differences between the pre- and post-test results of the experimental and control groups in general strength and overall body balance, as well as statistically significant differences in the post-test results between the two groups in favor of the experimental group. The experimental method was adopted using a two-group design (experimental and control) on a sample of (11) patients intentionally selected through a comprehensive sampling method (100%) from men aged (50–55) years with temporary hemiplegia who attended the physiotherapy department at Baghdad Teaching Hospital. After determining the research tests and preparing the rehabilitation exercises, the program was implemented for (8) weeks, comprising (40) daily rehabilitation sessions, excluding Fridays and Saturdays, for the experimental group. After completing the experiment and statistically analyzing the data using SPSS, the results indicated that neuromuscular control exercises are appropriate for rehabilitation sessions for men aged (50–55) years with temporary hemiplegia. Their application contributed to restoring general strength and improving overall body balance associated with stroke sequelae. The researcher recommended considering patients’ capabilities and injury severity when designing neuromuscular control exercises, as well as promoting continuous collaboration between academic specialists in sports rehabilitation and physiotherapists to accelerate recovery from stroke-related impairments in this population.
