Brief Summary

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

The primary aim of our study is to evaluate the functional status of the unaffected hand in hemiplegic patients. The secondary aims are to compare the functional states of the unaffected hand between right and left hemiplegias, and to evaluate the relationships between the functional status of the unaffected hand and the healing phase of the hemiplegic side and activities of daily living.

This cross-sectional study included 30 right hemiplegic and 30 left hemiplegic patients with a history of ischemic cerebrovascular accident (CVA) in the last 1 year and 30 healthy volunteers as a control group.

Participants' data on age, gender, height, weight, comorbidities, time after stroke, and affected body half were recorded. In the patient group, the stages for the upper extremity and hand were evaluated according to the Brunnstrom recovery stages. Afterwards, the participants' hand grip strengths were evaluated with a Jamar type hand dynamometer, pinch strengths with a pinchmeter, and hand dexerity with the Nine Hole Peg Test (NHPT). Evaluations were made in the unaffected hand in the patient groups and in both hands in the control group. The Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale (Lawton-IADL) and the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) were applied to the patient groups.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

This cross-sectional study included 30 right hemiplegic and 30 left hemiplegic patients with a history of ischemic cerebrovascular accident (CVA) in the last 1 year and 30 healthy volunteers as a control group. All patients and healthy volunteers were right hand dominant.

Exclusion Criteria

Patients with a history of CVA in the last 1 month, bilateral hemispheric ischemic lesion, moderate/severe cognitive impairment, aphasia, neglect, and patients/healthy volunteers with severe systemic, inflammatory, degenerative and neurological diseases that may lead to loss of hand functions, a history of surgery or trauma in the upper extremity in the last 3 months, and younger than 18 years of age were excluded.
