Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Scapular Postural Stabilization Exercise Program on Balance and Walking in Hemiplegia Methods: The case study was performed for 20 hemiplegia. The experimental group of patients were selected on the following basis. Patients understood doctors directions well, and were able to walk without any help along a stretch of more than 10 meters. they had no functional limit in their upper limb region. The patients of the control group had general therapy once a week, for 30 minutes, up to a total of 20 times for 4 weeks. Results: The results were as following; 1) scapula postural stabilization exercise had helped the hemiplegia patients in the experimental group with their static balance(p<.05). 2) scapula postural stabilization exercise had helped the hemiplegia patients in the experimental group with their faster walking speed(p<.05). 3) scapula postural stabilization exercise had helped the hemiplegia patients in the experimental group with their increase walking ability(p=.001). Conclusion: The research results thus indicate that scapula postural stabilization exercise helps hemiplegia enhance posture control functions. We can thereby conclude this technique will again in the future be very useful for stroke patients in this context.
