Summary

The purposes of this study is to investigate the differences in upper extremity function, sleep quality, and functional independence between patients with and without hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP). HSP is defined as musculoskeletal pain in the affected shoulders of individuals after stroke.Numerous studies have found an association between post-stroke shoulder pain and range of motion, sensory impairment, subluxation, spasticity, and complex regional pain syndrome. HSP is a problem that, starting from mild discomfort, leads to gradual functional impairment, ultimately resulting in increasing disability and decreased independence.In the literature, the relationship between HSP and upper extremity function, functional independence, and sleep quality has not been clarified.

Conditions

• Stroke
• Shoulder Pain

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Questionnaire	Upper limb function was assessed with the Turkish version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Questionnaire (DASH). The questionnaire DASH is a self-report instrument with 30 items. The total score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating a worse upper limb function.
OTHER	Arm Motor Ability Test	The test assesses hemiparetic upper extremity functional tasks.The increase in the scores of both subparameters of the scale, which is composed of the parameters of functional ability and quality of movement, indicates an improvement in the motor functions of the upper limbs.
OTHER	Nine Hole Peg Test	Fine motor skills of the upper extremities were assessed.The patient was asked to insert the nine sticks in the box on the table into the holes in the other box as quickly as possible and then remove them immediately. As time increases, fine motor skills of the upper extremities decrease
OTHER	Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index	Sleep quality was assessed using the this test.This scale, which provides a quantitative measure of sleep quality, is a 19-item self-report scale. The total score greater than 5 indicates "poor sleep quality".
OTHER	Functional Independence Measure	This test assessed functional capacity in activities of daily living.The higher a person's score, the higher the level of independence.
