Summary

The aim of this study; To determine the immediate effect on fall risk and postural stability of vibration applied to the plantar region 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 vibration group and the placebo group.Patients will be taken to the placebo and vibration 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. The vibration group, one session in supine position will be applied to both sides of the soles of the feet under the soles of the feet for 5 minutes with a 15-100 Hz frequency CE certified vibration device. In the placebo group, both sides will be held in the supine position under the soles of the foot for 5 minutes each so that the device is in contact with the foot without vibration.
