Gait and Falling Risk in Patient With Stroke

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This study focuses on the impact of lower extremity dysfunctions following stroke-such as muscle weakness, spasticity, and sensory impairments-on gait and fall risk. Post-stroke gait is typically slow, asymmetric, and functionally limited due to motor and sensory deficits. Spasticity, particularly in the lower limb muscles like the gastrocnemius, further complicates walking. Sensory issues, including reduced plantar sensation and joint position sense, also contribute to impaired mobility and balance. The study aims to examine the relationship between gait, plantar sensation, knee position sense, and spasticity, and how these factors influence fall risk in stroke patients. The aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between gait and plantar sensation, knee position sensation, and spasticity based on these results. Another aim is to determine the effects of plantar sensation, knee position sensation, and spasticity on fall risk. We previously hypothesized that there is a relationship between gait and spasticity, position sense, plantar sensation. This study further hypothesizes hypothesises that parameters associated with gait will influence the risk of falls in patients with stroke.
