NCT06092190 | Unknown

• Study Type: observational
• Target: 100

Brief Summary

Stroke is the most common cause of mortality and is one of the most common causes of morbidity in the world. Polyneuropathies and entrapment neuropathies are known as the complications of stroke

Conditions

Neuropathy; Stroke

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Electrodiagnostic testing

  Electrodiagnostic testing (electromyography and nerve conduction velocity) can objectively verify the tibial nerve dysfunction. Electrodiagnosis rests upon demonstrating impaired tibial nerve conduction across the tarsal tunnel in context of normal conduction. Compression results in damage to the myelin sheath and manifests as delayed latencies and slowed conduction velocities

Study Population

A hundred patients were selected from the Out-Patient Clinics of Neurology in Kasr Al- Aini Hospitals and Out-Patient Clinic of Neurology, Faculty of Physical Therapy, Cairo University.

You may qualify if:

• A hundred patients with hemiplegia /paresis subsequent to a stroke as diagnosed by CT or MRI.
• A hundred patients from both sexes, their ages ranged from (55-65) years. 3- Body weight of patients was ranged from(55 -95 kg) ,while their height was from (151-185 cm) and BMI was ranged from (20-30 kg/m2).
• Duration of illness (6 - 9 months post stroke). 5- Patients have spasticity ranging from grade 1 to grade 3 according to modified Ashworth scale 6- Patients were medically stable

You may not qualify if:

• Patients with lumbosacral sciatica that could mimic TTS or interfere with its evaluation 2- Patients with tibial neuropathy, significant polyneuropathy, or marked orthopedic abnormalities; 3- Patients with contractures 4- Patients with psychological disturbance or seizures 5- Systemic diseases known to cause TTS, such as diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, rheumatoid arthritis, or chronic renal failure;
