Brief Summary

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

introduction:The aim of this study was to show the relationship of distal femoral cartilage and quadriceps thicknesses with functional status and presence of sarcopenia in ambulatory stroke patients with voluntary movement.

Materials and Method: Forty-eight patients who were diagnosed with stroke due to cerebrovascular disease, had started voluntary movement, and had a motor recovery of 3 or above according to Brunnstrom's Staging were included in this cross-sectional study.

Detailed Description

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

Forty-eight patients who were diagnosed with stroke due to cerebrovascular disease, had started voluntary movement, and had a motor recovery of 3 or above according to Brunnstrom's Staging were included in this cross-sectional study. Bilateral distal femoral cartilage thickness and quadriceps femoris (rectus femoris+vastus intermedius) thickness were measured by ultrasonography. In addition, A Simple Questionnaire to Rapidly Diagnose Sarcopenia (SARC-F questionnaire), hand grip strength, muscle mass measurement with Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), short physical performance battery (KFPB) tests were performed and the presence of sarcopenia The European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People-2 (EWGSOP- 2) were evaluated according to the criteria. Patients' Functional Independence Scale (FIM), Functional Ambulation Scale (FAS), Barthel Index and modified ashworth scale (MAS) were evaluated.
