Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Method: The study will include patients who were diagnosed with stroke for the first time according to the World Health Organization definition, who were over 18 years of age, whose general condition was stable after stroke and at least 3 months have passed since the event, among the patients followed up in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation of Ankara University Faculty of Medicine Ibn-i Sina and Cebeci hospitals. This study will be conducted within the scope of good clinical practices and all patients will be asked to give consent to the study by reviewing the informed consent form before the study.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Being diagnosed with stroke according to definition by the World Health Organization
* Being over 18 years of age
* Having had a stroke confirmed by Computed Tomography (CT) and/or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
* At least 3 months after stroke
* At least stage 2 according to the Functional Ambulation Classification
* Agreed to participate in the study and signed the informed consent form
Exclusion Criteria:
* Previous history of stroke
* Communication problems due to reasons such as aphasia and dementia
* Patients who are illiterate
* Cognitive functional impairment who cannot take commands (MMSE\<24)
* Dİagnoses such as cancer, heart failure, liver failure, renal failure that may cause fatigue
* Signs of systemic infection
* History of subarachnoid hemorrhage
Demographic information (gender, age, height, weight, body mass index, occupation), medical history, type of lesion (ischemic, hemorrhagic), duration of disease, laboratory values such as vitamin B12, vitamin D, hemoglobin and albumin levels and current treatments will be obtained from the patients who agree to participate in the study and meet the inclusion criteria and this information will be recorded in the patient follow-up form. Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) will be used to assess fatigue after stroke. In addition, the Visual Analog Scale-Fatigue (VAS-Fatigue) will be used to determine the severity of fatigue. Pain severity will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale-Pain (VAS-Pain), depression and anxiety will be assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, sleep quality will be assessed using the Athens Insomnia Scale, motor function will be assessed using the Brunnstrom Motor Recovery Staging, and cognitive function will be assessed using the Mini Mental State Examination and Montreal Cognitive Assessment. The level of spasticity will be assessed with the Modified Ashworth Scale, physical capacity with the 6-minute walk test, functional ambulation with the Functional Ambulation Classification, independence in activities of daily living with the Modified Barthel Index, and health-related quality of life with the Stroke Impact Scale v3.0
