Summary

Stroke is often associated with secondary complications such as nutritional and metabolic disorders, endocrine dysfunction, mental problems, and cardiopulmonary disorders caused by neurological and musculoskeletal deficits. The absence of the paretic side muscles and the difficulty of movement together with restrictive pulmonary disorders trigger a secondary decrease in cardiopulmonary function and expose insufficient energy associated with gait resulting in a decrease in asymmetric trunk exercise endurance.

Detailed description

Studies have shown that these patients have muscle weakness and delayed activity of trunk muscles, significant loss of trunk position sense, insufficient pressure control center while sitting, decreased trunk performance, and trunk asymmetry during walking. It has been reported that trunk function with balance and walking ability in stroke patients is a useful determinant of daily life activities, balance and walking ability. Balance disorders may be the result of changes in the sensory and integrative aspects of motor control. In the subacute phase, more than 80% of the subjects who have had stroke for the first time have an imbalance in their balance. After a stroke, upper motor neuron damage can cause unconditioned. This results in physical inactivity and decreased cardiorespiratory fitness. Respiratory muscle weakness and changes in thoraco-abdominal motion may be associated with a decrease in tidal volume and lower exercise tolerance.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	core stabilization exercises	Core is at the center of almost all kinetic chains in the body. Core force, balance, and motion control maximize all kinetic chains of upper and lower limb function. A stable and strong core can contribute to more efficient use of the lower extremities. Core stability is defined as the ability of the lumbo-pelvic hip complex to prevent bending of the vertebral column and return to balance after perturbation. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is a technique in which muscle contraction is electrically stimulated in the area where the surface electrodes are connected. It improves secondary muscle atrophy and weakness in immobilization by preventing a decrease in muscle protein synthesis. Kinesiological banding (CT) is a treatment method used in the treatment of various musculoskeletal and neuromuscular deficits. The mechanism of action of CT is to facilitate muscle activation, increase blood and lymph circulation and reduce pain due to neurological suppression.
