Case in brief
A post-stroke patient with sarcopenia presented with significant balance impairment and fear of falling, leading to reduced functional independence. The patient underwent a 5-week Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) protocol alongside conventional rehabilitation. Post-intervention assessments showed improvements in balance, trunk control, functional mobility, grip strength, and lower-limb strength, indicating enhanced postural control and functional outcomes.
Diagnostic / clinical pearl
Clinicians should consider the potential benefits of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization in improving postural control and functional outcomes in post-stroke patients with sarcopenia.
