Introduction: Stroke is a sudden and local neurologic defect from ischemic damages into the brain changing the function of a part of the body and physical sensation of the body condition. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of core stabilization trainings on the static and dynamic balance of stroke patients.

Materials & methods: In a case-control study, 26 male stroke patients were divided in two groups (CTL, 13 stroke patients with a mean age of 57.3± 4.22 years, height 168.26±2.12 cm, weight 74.68±6.24 kg) and (TRN, 13 Stroke patients with a mean age 55.30±5.04 years, height 171.53±3.41 cm, weight 76.56±7.51 kg), TRN group was performed a core stabilization program for 8 weeks and three times per week. The pre-test and post-test of Sharpened Romberg  test was done to measure static balance and Get Up and Go test was done to measure dynamic balance of two groups. Independent T-test was used to analyze the data (p&le0.05).

Findings: Results showed significant differences in mean of static balance (open eye (p 011) and closed eye (p=0.003)) and for dynamic balance (P=0.001) in both groups.

Discussion & Conclusion: Core stabilization training program improve the static and dynamic balance of Stroke patients and can be used to improve the balance in rehabilitation of stroke patients.
