Summary

The purpose of our study is to assess the effect of lower limb sensory training on proprioception, balance, gait and motor functions in Hemiparetic Individuals.

Conditions

  • Hemiparesis/Hemiplegia (One Sided Weakness/Paralysis)

Interventions

OTHER

neurodevelopmental therapy

Considering the individual needs and wishes of the patient, an exercise program will be created for each patient in accordance with their functional levels and supporting active participation of the person. The treatment program tailored to the patient; It will include weight transfer to the affected side in different positions, functional reaching out activities, stepping forward and walking activities.

OTHER

Lower extremity sensory training

Lower extremity sensory training will only be applied to the Intervention Group for 4 weeks, 3 days a week and 12 sessions in total. In the lower extremity, 3 sets of soft tissue needing, stroking and fascia stretching will be applied on 5 areas as Quadriceps, Hamstring, Gastrosoleus Group, Peroneal muscles, ankle and foot. In addition, sensory stimulation will be applied in the same five regions of the lower extremity with 3 repetitions and 3 sets with a knurled ball, brush and sponge. Lower extremity mobilizations of PANat Therapy approach will be used with traction and gliding applications in all joints in the ankle and foot. Finally, intrinsic muscle stimulation will be performed for 3 minutes with a bottle and towel under the sole of the foot.
