Brief Summary
In stroke patients, the shoulder-upper extremity complex is affected and reduces independence and quality in activities of daily living. Investigating the relationship between the functions of the upper extremity muscles and viscoelastic properties is important in understanding the rehabilitation of individuals with stroke.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (4)
Stiffness
stiffness (N/m) is a biomechanical feature of the muscle that characterizes its resistance to a contraction or an external force.
through study completion, an average of one month
Elasticity
The elasticity is measured as a logarithmic decrement (log) of the natural oscillations in the tissue. Logarithmic decrement describes the tissue's ability to restore its shape after being deformed
through study completion, an average of one month
Tone
Oscillation frequency (Hz) refers to the tone of a muscle while resting,
through study completion, an average of one month
Functionality- Box and Block Test
Te Box and Block Test (BBT) is one of the most used and recommended tools to evaluate unilateral manual dexterity. The BBT comprises a box divided into two compartments by a wooden separation and 150 small wood cubic blocks (1-inch). The BBT consists of displacing a maximum number of small blocks, one-by-one, from the compartment located on the tested side to the other using the same hand (taking care to pass over the separation). Te score is obtained by counting the number of blocks correctly displaced within 60 s.

Sample of stroke patients
Interventions
Muscles' viscoelastic properties assess with myotonPRO.
Upper extremity's functionality assess with Box and Block Test.
Eligibility Criteria
Individuals between the ages of 18 and 50 who had an ischemic stroke for the first time will be included in the study. Individuals with impairments that may affect upper extremity performance will be excluded from the study.
You may qualify if:
- Patients who had ischemic SVO 3-9 months ago Individuals who have had a stroke for the first time MAS ≤ 2 of spasticity in paretic upper extremity
You may not qualify if:
- TIA survivors Presence of cognitive deficits ( Mini-Mental State Examination score ≥ 24) Presence of another neurological, neuromuscular or orthopedic disease Presence of diseases that cause pain, such as fibromyalgia or arthritis Comorbidity with depression or psychiatric illness
