Evaluation tool was used Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke patients(PASS). Results: The PASS score was increased from 16 to 31 Core stability training for left hemiplegia improved was the ability both for maintain. posture and adapting in changing posture, and so which showed significant improvement of total postural control.
