Objectives: To find out the efficacy of external focus of attention in improving bed mobility in hemiplegic patients. Method: A sample of 30 patients satisfying the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned into a control group and an experimental group of 15 patients each. The control group received bed mobility training without external focus of attention. In experimental group external focus of attention was used to give bed mobility training . The treatment was for 6 days. The outcome measure taken was Trunk Control Test. Pre and post values were taken on the first day and sixth day of treatment. Results: Statistical analysis using Wilcoxon signed-ranks test and Mann-Whitney ?U__ampersandsignlsquo; test showed significant difference in improvement in bed mobility status of patients treated with external focus of attention. Conclusion: External focus of attention for training bed mobility seems to be beneficial for hemiplegic patients.
