Brief Summary

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

Somatosensory dysfunction including the sense of movement and position, i.e. proprioception, is observed in approximately 65% of patients after stroke. Loss of muscle strength, especially in the lower extremities, and impaired proprioception lead to significant loss of function in stroke patients. In addition, recent studies have emphasised that sensory information obtained by target-oriented exercises plays an important role in neuroplasticity and proprioception is an important element. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of knee isokinetic muscle strengthening exercises on proprioception and balance in stroke patients.
