Literature has shown evidence that training the core muscles using the Pilates exercises has shown improvements in functional ability, balance and posture in normal, geriatric, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson__ampersandsignrsquo;s patients. Objective: To investigate the effects of clinical Pilates in balance, posture, and core stability of a recurrent lacunar stroke patient. Methods: The participant was a 59-year-old male with recurrent stroke along with uncontrolled hypertension and type 2 Diabe tes, came with Left hemiparesis, poor trunk control and reduced static and dynamic balance. Results: The 3 weeks of clinical Pilates along with conventional physiotherapy showed significant improvements in the Trunk Impairment Scale and Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke of a recurrent lacunar Stroke patient. Conclusion: Pilates is known as an exercise program to restore physical function effectively after stroke. Although, Pilates train ing has more beneficial effects on physical rehabilitation in stroke patients; the evidence to imply pilates exercises in the clinical practice is lacking in research.&#13;
