Brief Summary

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

The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of plantar vibration on the ankle proprioception of patients with stroke.

Detailed Description

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

The study, utilizing a randomized placebo controlled design, is planned to be conducted on a minimum of 34 patients with stroke who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients included in the study will be randomly assigned to receive plantar vibration or placebo plantar vibration interventions.

The evaluator and the researcher administering the plantar vibration intervention will be different. Patients will be blinded to their group assignment.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Placebo Vibration Group

In addition to the conventional treatment program, the placebo plantar vibration application will be applied to the plantar region of the patients in the placebo group. For the application, the local vibration device will be moved without touching the patient's skin while it is operational. The placebo plantar vibration will be applied for 30 minutes each day over 3 consecutive days.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo Plantar Vibration

Intervention Type OTHER

The patients in the placebo group will receive placebo plantar vibration intervention with a frequency of 100 Hz on the affected plantar region, without touching the skin, for 30 minutes each day over 3 consecutive days.

Local Vibration Intervention Group

In addition to the conventional treatment program, the patients in this group will receive plantar vibration application on the affected plantar region, utilizing a frequency of 100 Hz. The plantar vibration will be applied for 30 minutes each day over 3 consecutive days.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Plantar Vibration

Intervention Type OTHER

The patients in the study group will receive plantar vibration intervention with a frequency of 100 Hz on the affected plantar region for 30 minutes each day over 3 consecutive days.
