Study aim
-
Considering the high prevalence of stroke and the resulting disabilities and the many harmful effects on the general health of the society, it is necessary to study and understand deeply about this. Various studies have been conducted on stroke rehabilitation, but currently there is little research on the role of combination therapies; Especially since the research is a combination of movement exercises (PNF stretching exercises) with MFR technique, in this research, we try to find a more effective intervention on this condition
