Elastography in Patients With Hemiplegia

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
In our study, we aimed to examine the muscles and tendons of the shoulder region on the plegic side of patients with hemiplegia by elastography and to investigate whether there is a relationship between the course of the disease and the course of the lesions that will occur in the shoulder.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Patients over the age of 18 who apply to our clinic and have hemiplegia complaints will be evaluated. Patients' age, gender, occupation, habits, disease duration, upper extremity with complaints, dominant upper extremity, additional disease, weight and height values will be recorded. In the physical medicine and rehabilitation department examination of the patients, the patients will be evaluated with the brunnstrom staging used in hemiplegic patients. The elastography of the shoulder on the side with hemiplegia and the elastography of the shoulder on the side without complaints will be examined. Thus, the patient's side with the complaint will be checked by comparing the healthy side.
