Abstract Introduction: Stroke is the sudden loss of neurological function caused by an interruption of the blood flow to the brain, and it causes various abnormalities in patients that affect their activities of daily living. The pelvic mal-alignment, which is excessive Lateral and Anterior Pelvic Tilt affecting the standing weight-bearing symmetry between feet, is often seen in patients with stroke. Due to a weak pelvis, they have more postural sway. Primary Objective: To compare the effects of posterior and lateral pelvic tilt taping combined with functional exercises on pelvic asymmetry, functional mobility, and postural sway in patients with chronic stroke. Methodology: the study included 30 patients randomly assigned into Experimental Group 1(n=10) with Posterior Pelvic Tilt taping and functional exercises, Experimental Group 2 (n=10) with Lateral Pelvic Tilt taping and functional exercises and Control Group (n=10) with only functional exercises performed for thirty minutes, five times a week, for six weeks. The outcome measures were Orthoking Pressure Plate SDP-610 and Pelvic Inclinometer. Results: The comparison shows that there was significant improvement in all the groups at the end of 6th week. However, the Experimental Group A showed greater improvements than Experimental Group B and Control Group at p value of 0.05. Conclusion: posterior pelvic tilt taping was superior to lateral pelvic tilt taping along with functional exercises in terms of improving postural sway, pelvic inclination, and functional mobility in patients with chronic stroke.
