Effect of Plantar Vibration on Static and Dynamic Balance
Condition: Stroke Patients
MeSH terms: Stroke
Study type: Interventional

Summary: 
      The aim of this study is to have a positive effect on the static and dynamic balance of
      vibration applied to the foot base in stroke patients.
    

Detailed description: 
      Kırıkkale University Faculty of Medicine Physical Therapy will be hospitalized in the USA
      clinic and volunteers will be involved in stroke rehabilitation. The patients who meet the
      inclusion criteria and who are excluded from the exclusion criteria will be randomized
      according to the order of arrival and will be divided into two groups as the education group
      and the control group. Patients will be taken to the control and study group respectively in
      order of arrival. If the next patient falls outside the inclusion criteria of the study,
      randomization will be applied to the next patient. Patients in the control group will be
      given routine conventional physiotherapy in 4-week and 60-minute sessions. The training group
      will be given routine conventional physiotherapy in 4-week and 45-minute sessions.In
      addition, three sessions a week will be applied to the soles of the feet for 15 minutes with
      a 15-100 Hz vibration device on both sides of the soles of the feet before conventional
      physical therapy. Individuals before; age, gender, marital status, nutritional
      characteristics, habits, smoking and alcohol, auxiliary devices, background information,
      family history, educational status, social security, previous or current occupation,
      frequency of fall, cause of fall and drugs used will be questioned. Static and dynamic
      equilibrium parameters will be evaluated at the beginning of the study and at the end of the
      4th week.
    

Intervention name(s): Plantar Vibration Group; Control Group
Intervention type(s): Other; Other
Intervention description(s): Patients in plantar vibration group will be received 45-minute conventional physiotherapy session for 5-days in a week, over 4-week. Each physiotherapy sessions will consist of range of motion exercises, strengthening exercises, exercises such as activities of daily living, mobility and transfer activities. In addition, three sessions a week will be applied to the soles of the feet for 15 minutes with a 15-100 Hz vibration device on both sides of the soles of the feet before conventional physical therapy.; Patients in control group will be received 60-minute conventional physiotherapy session for 5-days in a week, over 4-week. Each physiotherapy sessions will consist of range of motion exercises, strengthening exercises, exercises such as activities of daily living, mobility and transfer activities.
Allocation: Randomized
