Summary

In this study, the investigators aimed to evaluate the effects of exercise on body weight-supported treadmill in stroke patients on gait parameters, activity, body functions and quality of life, and to determine whether it has an effect on balance when applied in addition to conventional therapy.

Conditions

  • Stroke
  • Cerebrovascular Accident
  • Gait Disorders, Neurologic
  • Walking, Difficulty

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Bodyweight supported treadmill training (BWSTT)

In the BWSTT group, walking training will be given by asking the patients to walk on the treadmill as fast as they can, without exceeding the medium intensity according to the Borg scale. Bodyweight support will be gradually reduced according to the patient's tolerance.

BEHAVIORAL

Conventional rehabilitation

The conventional rehabilitation program includes posture and breathing exercises, lower extremity stretching, active-assistive range of motion and strengthening, balance-coordination exercises, and walking with a physiotherapist on a smooth surface.
