Brief Summary

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

Stroke is a sudden decrease or cessation of blood flow to the brain. Two specific types of stroke account for the majority of stroke cases. Hemorrhagic strokes are caused by the rupture of a blood vessel within the brain, and ischemic strokes are caused by the blockage of an artery in the brain; Both conditions cause local hypoxia that damages brain tissue. Although both are serious and common, ischemic strokes are more common. Motor disorders after stroke manifest themselves as poor motor coordination, which also impairs mobility, as well as deterioration in muscle strength and tone. Post-stroke rehabilitation aims to help patients return to daily living activities by restoring the function of damaged muscles. One of the most fundamental problems of rehabilitation and daily life is decreased mobility. Biomedical understanding of kinesiophobia by assuming that the cause of the problem is the fear that physical activity will increase pain or disease symptoms. Kinesiophobia as the fear of experiencing physical or psychological discomfort.

Balance disorders are among the important factors affecting falls. Impaired postural control has a major impact on independence and gait in activities of daily living. Evaluation of postural balance in the subacute and chronic periods in stroke patients is an important factor in predicting the risk of falling. We believe that postural problems seen in stroke patients may affect kinesiophobia and fear of falling.

Pain and balance disorders seen in stroke patients can trigger the fear of falling, and the fear of falling can trigger the fear of moving.In approximately 60-70% of chronic stroke patients, poor self-esteem about falls is associated with increased anxiety and limitations in mobility balance. -qualification is declared.

Detailed Description

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

Kinesiophobia is defined as the fear of experiencing physical or psychological discomfort Postural control is necessary to maintain balance, control the body's position in space, and reflect the body's sensorimotor function. Poor trunk control affects balance and mobility in stroke patients and increases the risk of falls. Kinesiophobia can also significantly affect postural control The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between functional level, postural balance, fear of falling and kinesiophobia in patients with stroke. The secondary aim is to evaluate kinesiophobia according to the demographic information of stroke patients.

This study is a cross-sectional research. To determine the sample size, the power of the study was calculated using the G\*Power Version 3.1.9.6 package program. Accordingly, it was determined that the sample size should be at least 40 to have a significance level of 0.05 and the power of the study to be 0.95. Sociodemographic information of stroke patients participating in the study will first be collected. Then, the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKS) will be used to evaluate kinesiophobia, the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG), the Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS) will be used to evaluate functional mobility and balance, and the Tinetti Fall Activity Scale will be used to evaluate the fear of falling. After the data are collected, the relationship between them will be analyzed.

study subjects

In this study, participants will participate in the study after reading and approving the informed consent form. Volunteers participating in the study will first fill out the demographic information form. Then, the volunteers will be administered the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale, Timed Up and Go Test, Trunk Impairment Scale, and Tinetti Fall Effectiveness Scale. This study is a correlation study. Individuals' Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale results will be analyzed and interpreted with other scale results.
