Effectiveness of Isokinetic Exercises in Proprioception for Post-stroke Patients

Evaluation of the Effect of Knee Isokinetic Strengthening Exercises on Proprioception and Balance in Stroke Patients

Sponsor

Ankara Etlik City Hospital

Enrollment

34 participants

Start Date

Aug 1, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Stroke

Summary

Somatosensory dysfunction including the sense of movement and position, i.e. proprioception, is observed in approximately 65% of patients after stroke. Loss of muscle strength, especially in the lower extremities, and impaired proprioception lead to significant loss of function in stroke patients. In addition, recent studies have emphasised that sensory information obtained by target-oriented exercises plays an important role in neuroplasticity and proprioception is an important element. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of knee isokinetic muscle strengthening exercises on proprioception and balance in stroke patients.
