Summary

Early term rehabilitation initiated after stroke should be based on motor learning principles and neural plasticity. To achieve motor learning and neural plasticity, exercises consisting of intense and repetitive training should be given according to the patients' functional level. The neurodevelopmental treatment-Bobath (NDT\_B) approach is based on motor learning principles. In literature, studies that show the early term effects of NDT-B on functional recovery are inadequate. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects NDT-B applied in the early term of stroke, on postural control, functional movement, balance and activities of daily living.

OTHER

Neurodevelopmental Therapy-Bobath group

Neurodevelopmental Therapy-Bobath (NDT-B) is one of the most commonly used models for therapeutic management and treatment in patients with stroke. The basic philosophy underlying this approach is that; lesions in the central nervous system cause impairments in the coordination of movement and posture combined with problems in muscle tone which lead directly to functional limitations. According to the NDT-B approach, practice has a great role in treatment due to the fact that more practice leads to better motor learning and increases neural plasticity. According to NDT-B, the duration of treatment should not be limited to rehabilitation sessions, but should be designed to be implied throughout the day and should be adapted to the patients' daily life.

OTHER

Standart Rehabilitation Group (SR group)

Standard Rehabilitation for Stroke consists of the hospitals' physiotherapy and rehabilitation routine.
