Allocation: RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: PARALLEL
Intervention model description: Demographic data, gait parameters, balance parameters and craniovertebral angle values of individuals were evaluated with clinical data evaluation form, Spatio-Temporal Gait Analysis (LEGSystm), Portable computerized kinesthetic balance device (SportKAT 550) and photometer, respectivelyThe evaluations were performed 2 times before and after the treatment.

In addition to the 1 hour Bobath treatment, the study group received 15 minutes of cervical region joint and soft tissue mobilizations 3 times per week along 4 weeks. The control group was treated with Bobath 3 days per week along 4 weeks and each session was 75 minutes.
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: The aim of this study is to examine the effects of cervical mobilization on balance and gait parameters in stroke individuals.

Twenty-four stroke individuals aged 30-65 years, with a mini mental test score of 24 and above, and with a maximum score of 3 according to the modified rankin scale, were included in this study. Individuals were randomly divided into 2 groups as study (Bobath approach and cervical mobilization n=12) and control group (Bobath approach n=12).

Demographic data, gait parameters, balance parameters and craniovertebral angle values of individuals were evaluated with clinical data evaluation form, Spatio-Temporal Gait Analysis (LEGSystm), Portable computerized kinesthetic balance device (SportKAT 550) and photometer, respectivelyThe evaluations were performed 2 times before and after the treatment.
