Brief Summary

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

This is a cross-sectional clinical study planned to include 138 stroke patients receiving inpatient treatment at the Istanbul Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Training and Research Hospital.Data on kinesiophobia (Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale-17) , balance performance (Berg Balance Scale) , balance confidence (Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale-6) , fear of falling (Falls Efficacy Scale) , pain (VAS) , and mood (HADS) will be collected. Clinical and demographic data, including Brunnstrom stages and Barthel Index, will also be recorded. The relationships between these variables will be analyzed statistically.

Study Groups

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

Inpatient Stroke Survivors

This observational group consists of 138 participants with a history of stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic) who are receiving inpatient treatment at the Istanbul Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Training and Research Hospital.

Survey using a questionnaire.

Intervention Type OTHER

All participants in this single cohort will undergo a one-time, cross-sectional assessment. This assessment includes the collection of clinical and demographic data and the administration of scales for kinesiophobia (Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale-17), balance performance (Berg Balance Scale), balance confidence (ABC-6), fear of falling (Falls Efficacy Scale), pain (VAS), and mood (HADS). No intervention is administered.
