Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

It was aimed to determine the relationship between post-stroke imagination ability, balance, and functionality, and to compare the motor imagery skills of those who had stroke with compatible healthy individuals.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

İn the study, 20 individuals with hemiplegic or chronic hemiparesis who agreed to participate by signing the voluntary consent form, who meet the inclusion criteria, and 20 healthy individuals who are similar in terms of age, gender and education level will be included.

The individuals included in the study will be divided into two groups:

Group 1: Stroke Patients Group 2: Control Group
