Area of Science:

Neurorehabilitation
Physical Therapy
Stroke Recovery

Background:

Stroke survivors often desire to regain activities requiring deep knee flexion.
Limited research exists on training methods for deep flexion post-stroke.
This case report introduces a task-oriented program for improving deep flexion in sub-acute hemiplegia.

Observation:

A 55-year-old male with ischemic stroke had difficulty with squatting and work-related tasks needing deep flexion.
The patient presented 6 weeks post-stroke with significant functional limitations.
His goals included improved ability to squat and perform daily activities.

Findings:

A 6-week task-oriented training program focused on sit-to-stand and squatting.
The patient exceeded expected outcomes on the Goal Attainment Scale (GAS = +2).
Significant improvements were noted in functional activities and social participation.

Implications:

Task-oriented training can effectively improve deep flexion activities in stroke patients.
Rehabilitation programs should incorporate targeted interventions for functional recovery.
Improved mobility positively impacts social participation and quality of life after stroke.
