Brief Summary

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

Loss of motor control after stroke, muscle weakness, abnormal movement patterns, spasticity, range of motion limitations and sensory dysfunction, resulting in a decrease in the load transferred to the affected limb, changes in gait pattern and balance skills. Post-stroke muscle weakness has been shown to occur not only in the lower and upper extremity muscles but also in the respiratory muscles. It was found that the plantar pressure distribution in the affected side feet was decreased in individuals with stroke and this situation negatively affected the walking function. A systematic review of treadmill training revealed that treadmill training significantly increased walking speed and walking distance. Learning to walk backwards is also recommended to improve the movement components required for walking forward. As a result of the investigations, although there are studies about the effects of back-walking training on walking and balance function in chronic stroke patients, there is no study investigating the effects on plantar pressure distribution and respiratory parameters. Therefore, this study, which planned to investigate the effects of treadmill retching training on balance, plantar pressure distribution and respiratory parameters in chronic stroke patients, will contribute to the literature.

Backward Walking Group

Conventional therapy + Backward Walking Training

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Backward Walking Training

Intervention Type OTHER

The training speed will start at the basic walking speed and will increase by 5% of the starting speed each week. The training, which will take 30 minutes, will be as follows: 5 minutes forward walking (warm-up phase), 20 minutes backward walking (intervention phase) and 5 minutes forward (cooling phase).

-three times a week for six weeks

Forward Walking Group

Conventional therapy + Forward Walking Training

Group Type OTHER

Forward Walking Training

Intervention Type OTHER

The training speed will start at the basic walking speed and will increase by 5% of the starting speed each week. It will be in the form of walking forward for 30 minutes.

-three times a week for six weeks
