Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Experimental group
An exploratory-descriptive qualitative study will be conducted . This study will be conducted with 10 stroke patients receiving threshold electrical stimulation therapy. Threshold electrical stimulation will be applied for 4 weeks, 3 days a week, for one hour. At the end of the 4th week, semi-structured focus group interviews will be held with the patients. . In the semi-structured focus group interviews, the same questions will be asked to all participants and the verbal answers to these questions will be recorded with voice recorders. Compared to taking notes by hand; It will be preferable to record the conversation with a voice recorder because it has advantages such as recording all the interviews and allowing the interviewer to focus on the interview. Thematic analysis method will be used in the evaluation of the data.
Threshold electrical stimulation
Threshold stimulation (EDS) is based on low-intensity (\<100 Hz) and long-duration current and is applied with superficial electrodes. Threshold stimulation provides a natural proprioception by depolarizing the sensory and motor nerves without causing any muscle contraction.This treatment will be applied for 4 weeks, 3 days a week, for 1 hour.
