Brief Summary
This study examines whether early-term upper extremity functions of acute stroke patients can be a tool for predicting later-period trunk functions.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Trunk Impairment Scale
Three items of the scale assess static sitting balance, ten assess dynamic sitting balance, and four assess trunk coordination. The maximum score that can be obtained from these three sections is 23 points.

Wolf Motor Function Test
The test is a performance tool consisting of seventeen items designed to evaluate the motor skills of the upper extremity. While fifteen items assess functional skills, two items determine muscle strength. Muscle strength was not used in this study. A total score was calculated for the patients' functional skills. The test is scored between 0-5, and the total score varies between 0-75 points for this study
Baseline
Study Arms (1)
Acute Strokers
Individuals with early-stage stroke were included in the study.
Interventions
No intervention was applied to the patients within the scope of this study.
Eligibility Criteria
Acute Strokers
You may qualify if:
- \- Patients aged 30-80 years with a confirmed diagnosis of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke were considered for participation.
You may not qualify if:
- \- Patients with secondary orthopedic and/or neurological conditions, lumbosacral injuries, impaired consciousness, unilateral neglect, recurrent stroke, or a Mini-Mental State Examination score \<24 were excluded from the study.
