This study is performed in a controlled randomized, two-period crossover design to test the efficacy of Abdominal drawing-in maneuver (ADIM) exercise compared to conventional physiotherapy in chronic stroke survivors.
All participants provided written informed consent and are assigned to Group A or Group B. The inclusion criteria are Exclusion criteria are Abdominal drawing-in maneuver exercise is following as: It's for strengthening the Transversus Abdominis muscle(TrA). The simple device, that observes the pressure changes by the gauge. Subjects receive intervention 2 times a week for 4 weeks. Each session is 40 minutes. From the supine position to the hook-lying position (hip joint at 40 degrees and the knee joint at 80 degrees) and pull the navel deeply to the lumbar region through the Stabilizer™ Pressure Biofeedback that stabilizes transversus abdominis muscle. At this time, subjects are controlled to maintain contraction while keep breathing lightly, to contract slowly, also to not move the pelvis and chest while exercising The device assists in body control movements of the spine and abdominal muscle. Conventional physiotherapy is following as: Release pain, limb stretching, mobilization of joint and pelvic movement. Subjects receive 2 times a week for 4 weeks. Each session is 40 minutes. Group A received Abdominal drawing-in maneuver exercise for 4 weeks on period 1. Afterward washout period in a month, follow period 2 of conventional physiotherapy. On the other side, Group B receives first conventional physiotherapy on period 1. Afterward washout period in a month, follow period 2 of Abdominal drawing-in maneuver exercise.

The Effect of a Particular Intervention During the Entire Course of the study_Trunk Dislocation
We defined hand movement onset as the time when tangential velocity exceeded 10% of peak velocity and movement offset as when it fell below 10%. Participants who received that particular intervention during the entire course of the study. Effect of Abdominal Drawing-In Maneuver (AIDM) exercise and Shan therapy. Dislocation distance in millimeters(mm) for reaching phase
Time frame: Baseline, two period(each 4weeks), wash out(4weeks)
The Effect of a Particular Intervention During the Entire Course of the Study_movement Unit
We defined hand movement onset as the time when tangential velocity exceeded 10% of peak velocity and movement offset as when it fell below 10%. It was defined by velocity peaks exceeding 20mm/s, with a minimum 150 ms interval. Participants who received that particular intervention during the entire course of the study. Number of movement units for reaching phase
Time frame: Baseline, two period(each 4weeks), wash out(4weeks)
The Effect of a Particular Intervention During the Entire Course of the Study_Elbow Angle
We defined hand movement onset as the time when tangential velocity exceeded 10% of peak velocity and movement offset as when it fell below 10% Elbow angle in degree for reaching phase Participants who received that particular intervention during the entire course of the study. -elbow angle: joining vector of acromion to lateral epicondyle and vector of lateral epicondyle and medial styloid process.
Time frame: Baseline, two period(each 4weeks), wash out(4weeks)
The Effect of a Particular Intervention During the Entire Course of the Study_Total Time
We defined hand movement onset as the time when tangential velocity exceeded 10% of peak velocity and movement offset as when it fell below 10%. Participants who received that particular intervention during the entire course of the study. Duration of time in second(s) for reaching phase

The Effect of a Particular Intervention During the Entire Course of the Study_Hand Velocity
We defined hand movement onset as the time when tangential velocity exceeded 10% of peak velocity and movement offset as when it fell below 10%. Participants who received that particular intervention during the entire course of the study. We analyzed peak hand velocity (mm/s) as velocity per unit time
Time frame: Baseline, two period(each 4weeks), wash out(4weeks)
The Effect of a Particular Intervention During the Entire Course of the Study_Elbow Angular Velocity
We defined hand movement onset as the time when tangential velocity exceeded 10% of peak velocity and movement offset as when it fell below 10%. Participants who received that particular intervention during the entire course of the study. Peak angular velocity (rad/s) for the elbow were assessed during extension.
