A partial or complete loss of sensory and motor functions below the site of injury is a potential clinical sign of SCI. Trunk and pelvic control are crucial for balance and gait to perform vocational tasks of daily living. In this case report, a 40-year-old male with traumatic incomplete paraplegia (AIS Grade C, neurological level T6) received 45 min of intervention per session, which included pelvic proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation combined with core strengthening exercises 5 times a week for 4 weeks. Baseline and postassessments were done for trunk control with the trunk control test for SCI, balance with the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and the SCI-functional ambulation inventory (SCI-FAI), and gait with the walking index for SCI II (WISCI). After 4 weeks of intervention, there were significant differences between baseline and postintervention scores on the trunk control test for SCI (16\u201318), WISCI (Level 1\u20132), SCI-FAI (03\u201306), and BBS (04\u201308). This is the first case report that enabled and promoted potentiate intervention to improve trunk control, balance, and gait in paraplegics. This outcome motivates additional research on its therapeutic potential and mechanism.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijabmr.ijabmr_190_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,11]],"date-time":"2023-12-11T08:02:11Z","timestamp":1702281731000},"page":"263-265","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Combined Effect of Pelvic Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation with Core Strengthening on Trunk Control, Balance, and Gait in Paraplegia"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Adarsh","family":"Sharma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Maharishi Markandeshwar Institute of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Maharishi Markandeshwar (Deemed to be University), Mullana, Ambala, Haryana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Akanksha","family":"Saxena","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Maharishi Markandeshwar Institute of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Maharishi Markandeshwar (Deemed to be University), Mullana, Ambala, Haryana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20240902","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"537","DOI":"10.1179\/2045772314Y.0000000246","article-title":"Trunk strength and function using the multidirectional reach distance in individuals with non-traumatic spinal cord injury","volume":"37","author":"Gabison","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Spinal Cord Med"},{"key":"R2-20240902","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"238","DOI":"10.1038\/sc.2012.141","article-title":"Neglected traumatic spinal cord injuries:Causes, consequences and outcomes in an Indian setting","volume":"51","author":"Chhabra","year":"2013","journal-title":"Spinal Cord"},{"key":"R3-20240902","first-page":"29","article-title":"Effectiveness of pelvic proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique on trunk movement in hemiparetic stroke patients","volume":"3","author":"Khanal","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Dent Med Sci"},{"key":"R4-20240902","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3150","DOI":"10.16965\/ijpr.2019.149","article-title":"A comparative study on the effects of pelvic PNF exercises and hip extensor strengthening exercises on gait parameters of chronic hemiplegic patients","volume":"7","author":"Patni","year":"2019","journal-title":"Int J Physiother"},{"key":"R5-20240902","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1276","DOI":"10.1016\/S0003-9993(03)00200-4","article-title":"The relationship between sitting stability and functional performance in patients with paraplegia","volume":"84","author":"Chen","year":"2003","journal-title":"Arch Phys Med Rehabil"},{"key":"R6-20240902","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"200","DOI":"10.12965\/jer.1734892.446","article-title":"Effect of core strengthening with pelvic proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation on trunk, balance, gait, and function in chronic stroke","volume":"13","author":"Sharma","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Exerc Rehabil"}],"container-title":["International Journal of Applied &amp; Basic Medical Research"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/ijabmr.ijabmr_190_23","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,26]],"date-time":"2026-08-26T16:47:38Z","timestamp":1787762858000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/ijabmr.ijabmr_190_23"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,10]]},"references-count":6,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2023]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/ijabmr.ijabmr_190_23","relation":{},"ISSN":["2229-516X","2248-9606"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2229-516X","type":"print"},{"value":"2248-9606","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,10]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2023-04-26","name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2023-10-25","name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
