NCT06793852 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: shoulder pain in stroke
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 78
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The main purpose of this study is to reveal the effects of shoulder pain in chronic hemiplegic patients with a more comprehensive and holistic perspective through evaluation and correlation methods. It is thought that these evaluations can make significant contributions to the understanding of the etiology and treatment of post-stroke shoulder pain. The focus of the study is to deeply examine the effects of shoulder pain on joint position sense, postural control, tactile sense and muscle strength in chronic hemiplegic patients.

Study Population

The study population will consist of individuals diagnosed with stroke and receiving treatment at the Special Safranbolu Special Education and Rehabilitation Center in Karabük province. Based on previous similar studies, the sample size was calculated using power analysis with 80% power and a significance level of α=0.05, resulting in 78 participants.
