Summary

The purpose of our study is to assess the effect of lower limb sensory training on proprioception, balance, gait and motor functions in Hemiparetic Individuals.

Detailed description

After being informed about the study, all patients giving written informed consent will be determined eligibility for study entry. Patients who meet the eligibility requirements will be randomized in a single-blind manner (investigor about assessments). A group will have Bobath Therapy and the other group Bobath and Sensory Training.

Conditions

• Hemiparesis/Hemiplegia (One Sided Weakness/Paralysis)

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	neurodevelopmental therapy	Considering the individual needs and wishes of the patient, an exercise program will be created for each patient in accordance with their functional levels and supporting active participation of the person. The treatment program tailored to the patient; It will include weight transfer to the affected side in different positions, functional reaching out activities, stepping forward and walking activities.
OTHER	Lower extremity sensory training	Lower extremity sensory training will only be applied to the Intervention Group for 4 weeks, 3 days a week and 12 sessions in total. In the lower extremity, 3 sets of soft tissue needing, stroking and fascia stretching will be applied on 5 areas as Quadriceps, Hamstring, Gastrosoleus Group, Peroneal muscles, ankle and foot. In addition, sensory stimulation will be applied in the same five regions of the lower extremity with 3 repetitions and 3 sets with a knurled ball, brush and sponge. Lower extremity mobilizations of PANat Therapy approach will be used with traction and gliding applications in all joints in the ankle and foot. Finally, intrinsic muscle stimulation will be performed for 3 minutes with a bottle and towel under the sole of the foot.
