Despite the differences in theory and practice among the conventional, the PNF, and the Bobath approaches, we found no treatment-related variances in the outcomes of the patients after six weeks of treatment. We, thus, found no important differences in improvements in ADL, in isolated motor control over the involved ankle and wrist joints, and in gait among the three groups of sub- jects. The only outstanding result was the pattern of muscle tone improvement in the PNF-treatment group. Although this result may be related to the use of facilitation techniques, additional evi- dence is needed. Further studies are needed of the effects of exercise therapy procedures on hemiplegic patients.
