Abstract Stroke remains a major cause of long-term disability, necessitating effective rehabilitation strategies. This case study examines the rehabilitation of a 57-year-old male patient recovering from a middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarction, utilising the Model of Bobath Clinical Practice (MBCP). The patient underwent interventions based on the Bobath concept, focusing on selective activation of trunk muscles, core engagement, and pelvic alignment to enhance postural control. Assessments revealed significant improvements in both sitting and standing postures, with reductions in compensatory fixation strategies. The targeted therapeutic exercises facilitated better trunk control and lower limb weight-bearing, resulting in overall enhanced stability. The findings underscore the importance of individualised approaches in stroke rehabilitation aligned with Bobath principles. While the outcomes are promising, further research is needed to confirm the effectiveness of the MBCP model across varied patient populations. This study highlights the potential of the Bobath Concept in improving functional recovery and quality of life for stroke survivors.
