Brief Summary

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

The main purpose of this study is to reveal the effects of shoulder pain in chronic hemiplegic patients with a more comprehensive and holistic perspective through evaluation and correlation methods. It is thought that these evaluations can make significant contributions to the understanding of the etiology and treatment of post-stroke shoulder pain. The focus of the study is to deeply examine the effects of shoulder pain on joint position sense, postural control, tactile sense and muscle strength in chronic hemiplegic patients.

Detailed Description

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

This study aims to investigate the effects of shoulder pain on joint position sense, postural control, tactile sensation, and muscle strength in chronic hemiplegic stroke patients. Designed as a cross-sectional descriptive study, it involved participants divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of shoulder pain. The assessments included joint position sense , postural control , tactile sensation , gross grip strength, and pinch grip strength . The findings of this study are expected to contribute to clinical practice by aiding in the development of more effective interventions for managing post-stroke shoulder pain. Additionally, it aims to serve as a foundation for future comprehensive research, emphasizing the critical role of addressing pain in the rehabilitation process.
