Brief Summary
investigation of the effects of walking for 20 minutes on the acute H/M ratio on flat ground, downhill slopes at -7.5 degrees and -15 degrees in patients who have had a stroke, have spasticity and are ambulatory. At the same time, the aim of the study is to obtain the clinical effectiveness of this walking pattern and control of the H/M ratio by checking the H/M ratio again after 5 sessions and 20 minutes of walking for the patients participating in the study.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
the change in the H/M ratio after a 20-minute walk.
Each participant will be evaluated for changes in the H/M ratio with an EMG device before the walk, on the 1st day of the walk, and on the 5th day of the walk.
Day 0: Before the walk
the change in the H/M ratio after a 20-minute walk.
Each participant will be evaluated for changes in the H/M ratio with an EMG device before the walk, on the 1st day of the walk, and on the 5th day of the walk.
Day 1: First day of 20-minute walk
the change in the H/M ratio after a 20-minute walk.
Each participant will be evaluated for changes in the H/M ratio with an EMG device before the walk, on the 1st day of the walk, and on the 5th day of the walk.
Day 5: The fifth day of the 20-minute walk
