Brief Summary

The study aims to examine whether trunk control affects sitting balance and upper extremity functions in patients with subacute stroke.

Conditions

Stroke

Keywords

upper extremity; stroke; trunk control; sitting balance

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Trunk Impairment Scale

  It is a scale developed for the evaluation of the trunk after stroke. It consists of 3 parts:static sitting balance, dynamic sitting balance and coordination. A maximum of 23 points can be obtained, 3 from the static section, 10 from the dynamic section, and 4 from the coordination section. Except for the coordination part, each part is evaluated bilaterally.

  Baseline (First assessment)

• Trunk Control Test

  Trunk Control Test is a test developed to evaluate trunk control. It consists of 4 parts. The test consists of the parameters of turning from the supine position to the weak and strong side, coming from the supine position to the sitting position and maintaining the sitting balance. The scoring of each section is 0-12-25. The total score is between 0-100. Higher scores indicate better trunk control of the patient.
