Prior research has demonstrated an association between trunk control and balance. This study aims to identify the relationship between subacute stroke patients' functional mobility and their mobility. It can help with rehabilitation and hasten recovery by evaluating a patient's functional mobility with respect to these elements. The sitting balance scale (SBS) and Trunk Control Test (TCT) stood out due to their faster completion times. Using these tools along with the Modified Forward Reach Test (MFRT) to measure the functional mobility of patients who have experienced a sub-acute stroke, this research aims to demonstrate whether seated balance and trunk control can predict functional mobility. 46 subjects were recruited for this study and the three aforementioned tools were used to evaluate them. The relevant parametric or non-parametric tests were used to analyze the data for all outcomes. This study aimed to determine whether sitting balance and trunk control can predict the level of functional mobility in people who have had subacute strokes. The analysis revealed a strong and statistically significant positive correlation between the Trunk Control Test (TCT) scores and the Modified Functional Reach Test (MFRT) measurements for all three positions: front (r = .686, p < .001), unaffected side (r = .743, p < .001), and affected side (r = .733, p < .001). Similarly, there was a strong and statistically significant positive correlation between the Sitting Balance Scale (SBS) scores and the MFRT measurements for the same positions: front (r = .861, p < .001), unaffected side (r = .858, p < .001), and affected side (r = .859, p < .001).
