This study aimed to evaluate the impact of various rehabilitation strategies, including Bobathbased tailored trunk exercises, rhythmic auditory-cued gait training, and robotic gait training, on trunk control, limb functionality, walking, balance, and gait among stroke patients. A particular focus was placed on the Bobath approach's efficacy in enhancing these functional outcomes. Additionally, the study sought to provide critical insights into stroke rehabilitation, especially in developing more targeted interventions for gait impairments in patients with stroke-induced hemiplegia. In an experimental setup, 16 stroke patients who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled and divided into pre-and post-intervention groups. The experimental group received the Bobath Approach combined with conventional physiotherapy, and trunk control was evaluated using the Trunk Impairment Scale. Both groups participated in a 6-week therapy program, consisting of four sessions per week, each lasting 40 minutes. Notably, significant improvements in trunk control were observed in both groups, with the Bobath approach demonstrating a more substantial enhancement in Trunk Impairment Scale scores compared to conventional physiotherapy. This approach achieved statistical significance at the 0.05% level with a p-value of less than 0.04. The study's findings suggest that the Bobath training might be more effective in improving the spatial parameters of gait in stroke patients with hemiplegia than other rehabilitation methods like conventional physiotherapy or proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. This research was driven by the considerable impact of stroke-related hemiplegia on individuals' quality of life, functional independence, and the broader implications for the healthcare system
