Effects of Sensory Training Application in Addition to Bobath Training
Condition: Stroke; Stroke Rehabilitation
MeSH terms: Stroke
Study type: Interventional

Summary: 
      The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of sensory training, which
      will be applied to the trunk in addition to Bobath-based and trunk-focused exercises on trunk
      functions, sense, balance and gait. The secondary aim of the study is to investigate the
      effects of Bobath-based and trunk-focused exercises on trunk functional capacity, balance and
      gait performance.

      Our study consists of two groups: Bobath-based trunk training group and, sensory training
      group in addition to Bobath-based trunk training. The information of individuals who agree to
      participate in the study and meet the criteria for admission to the study will be recorded
      with a demographic information form. The scales, questionnaires and tests determined to
      evaluate the individual's trunk position sense and functions, balance and walking performance
      will be applied before and after the study.
    

Detailed description: 
      According to the definition of the World Health Organization, stroke is a clinical scene that
      develops due to vascular causes, causes focal or global brain damage, begins acutely, and
      progresses with neurological symptoms lasting 24 hours or longer. İt is stated that stroke is
      the third leading cause of disability worldwide. As a result of stroke, sensory disturbances
      may occur in individuals as well as motor symptoms.

      The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of sensory training, which
      will be applied to the trunk in addition to Bobath-based and trunk-focused exercises on trunk
      functions, sense, balance and gait. The secondary aim of the study is to investigate the
      effects of Bobath-based and trunk-focused exercises on trunk functional capacity, balance and
      gait performance.

      Our study consists of two groups: Bobath-based trunk training group and, sensory training
      group in addition to Bobath-based trunk training. All participants will be randomly
      distributed (using software at http://www.randomizer.org). First, 12 patients will be
      included in our study and the total number of patients will be determined by calculating the
      effect size with the interm analysis to be performed later. Exercises will be applied to the
      individuals participating in the study 3 days a week, 8 weeks and 24 sessions in total.
      Exercises will be applied to the individuals after conventional therapy session. The
      information of individuals who agree to participate in the study and meet the criteria for
      admission to the study will be recorded with a demographic information form. The scales,
      questionnaires and tests determined to evaluate the individual's trunk position sense and
      functions, balance and walking performance will be applied before and after the study.
    

Intervention name(s): Sensory Training in addition to Bobath Training; Bobath Training
Intervention type(s): Other; Other
Intervention description(s): Trunk-focused exercises will be applied for different senses (tactile, proprioceptive, etc.) in addition to Bobath exercises. Bobath exercises will be determined individually according to the evaluation results. In general, exercises aiming to muscle tone regulation, increase balance, walking, and functionality will be applied. Trunk-focused Bobath exercises will be selected.; Bobath exercises will be determined individually according to the evaluation results. In general, exercises aiming to muscle tone regulation, increase balance, walking, and functionality will be applied. Trunk-focused Bobath exercises will be selected.
