Trunk control is commonly affected after a neurological insult. The trunk has been considered to be the central key point or the core of the body. It plays an integral role in postural stabilization and also enables mobility of the body and the upper and lower extremities during task performance. Research has clearly demonstrated that trunk control affects many facets of the recovery in people with neurological insult, such as activities of daily living, upper extremity function, balance and gait.

Trunk rehabilitation is often overlooked as a critical component of rehabilitation as therapists may be more focused on retraining of self care, mobility and providing carefiver training in the early phase of recovery, Hence, this workshop aims to provide participants with a deeper understanding of the science, biomechanics and rehabilitation of trunk control (coined as Trunkology) in the neurological population.
