Motor impairment after stroke may occur due to damage to any part of the brain related to motor control. There is much clinical evidence that damage to different parts of the sensorimotor cortex in humans affects other aspects of motor function. Loss of strength, spasticity, limb apraxia, loss of voluntary movements, Babinski sign, and motor neglect are typical motor deficits following a cortical lesion (upper motor neuron lesion). Post-stroke spasticity can be seen in 19% to 92% of stroke survivors. Post-stroke hemiparesis is a significant cause of morbidity and disability, along with abnormal muscle tone. It has also been recognized that post-stroke hemiparesis may occur without spasticity. Spasticity seen after stroke causes loss of movement control, painful spasms, abnormal posture, increased muscle tone, and a general decrease in muscle function, and may affect limb blood flow. Studies in the literature show that spasticity can affect limb blood flow.This study aims to investigate the relationship between muscle oxygenation and spasticity in post-stroke hemiparetic patients based on the idea that oxygenation may be insufficient as a result of restriction of blood flow on the affected side due to spasticity in stroke patients., conditionsModule conditions: Stroke, conditions: Hemiparesis;Poststroke/CVA, conditions: Spasticity as Sequela of Stroke, designModule studyType: OBSERVATIONAL, designInfo observationalModel: OTHER, timePerspective: CROSS_SECTIONAL, enrollmentInfo count: 18, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: Assessment, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: Plantar Flexors Muscle Oxygenation, secondaryOutcomes measure: Spasticity, secondaryOutcomes measure: Motor Function, secondaryOutcomes measure: 6-Minute Walk Test, secondaryOutcomes measure: Stair Climbing Test, secondaryOutcomes measure: Adipose tissue thickness, eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 18 Years, stdAges: ADULT, stdAges: OLDER_ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Gazi University, Faculty of Health, Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, status: RECRUITING, city: Ankara, state: Çankaya, country: Turkey, contacts name: Gökhan Yazıcı, Assos.
