Acute Effects of Physiotherapy Interventions on Biceps Brachii Muscle Tissue Perfusion After Stroke
Investigation of the Acute Effects of Different Physiotherapy Applications on Biceps Brachii Muscle Tissue Perfusion in Individuals With Stroke
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 2 Oct 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study aimed to investigate the acute effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), the Bobath concept, and virtual reality (VR)-based interventions on biceps brachii tissue perfusion in individuals with chronic stroke. In this randomized crossover study, participants received all three physiotherapy interventions in a randomized order. Each intervention lasted 10 minutes. Biceps brachii muscle oxygenation and local blood volume responses were assessed using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) before, during, and after each intervention.
