Introduction: Perception of the visual vertical (SVV) is affected by cerebral hemispheric lesions. Knowledge of this disturbance is of interest for the study of its possible relation to balance disturbances and sense of equilibrium.Aims and Objective: To see the effect of stroke on balance and vestibular component.
Methodology: Ten subjects were included in the study. Subjects were asked to perform time up and Go test, MSQ and Dynamic Gait Index.
Results: The mean value of MSQ for 10 subjects was found to be 49.4. Vestibular component is affected moderately in 7 of 10 patients. The mean value of TUG is 51.86.
Conclusion: On the basis of the present study we concluded that, the orientation of vertical position and balance is affected in stroke patients.

Background: The role of core stability training program has been emphasized in different studies. This study was conducted to answer the question of, the most suitable core stability training program for better and faster adaptations.Objective: Comparison between the effectiveness for core stability floor exercises and core stability ball exercises in the young male adults.
Subjects: Thirty healthy male volunteers from Banarsidas Chandiwala Institute of Physiotherapy. 15 subjects (experimental group) performed exercises: curl-up and back extension on physioball and 15 subjects (control group) performed the same exercises on the floor mat for 5 weeks.
Study Design: Comparison study.
Data Analysis: Back and abdominal Manual Muscle Testing grading for back and abdominal strength respectively, 5 R.M. method for knee strength, Timed Single Leg Stance Test with eyes open and eyes closed for balance assessment and pulse oximeter for heart rate measurement. Mean and Standard Deviation were used for comparisons between pre- and post- training program measurements.
Results: There was a significant increase in unilateral stance balance test values with physioball training program.
Conclusion: This study indicates that the primary purpose of a physioball training program should not be to gain strength but to gain stability, improve balance and proprioceptive capabilities.
