Summary

Cerebrovascular accident is the third leading cause of death in developed countries after heart disease and cancer. In adults, it ranks first among neurological diseases in terms of causing death and disability. About one-third of stroke patients experience permanent physical dysfunction. This situation has a negative impact on the economic, social, psychological life and general quality of life of the patient and his family. Stroke is one of the leading causes of long-term disability in adults due to problems such as activity limitations and participation restrictions caused by disorders in body functions. Movement disorder is one of the most common symptoms of stroke, and people with stroke often have trouble falling while walking after they are discharged from the hospital. Therefore, one of the main goals of stroke rehabilitation is to regain independent mobility with a safe and stable gait pattern. In addition to all these, one of the problems faced by most stroke patients is sensory-perception disorders. Sensory impairment can be experienced as the inability to perceive the senses or the inability to distinguish the senses. It should be considered that sensory awareness decreases as more than one sensory impulse competes with each other at the same time, and this situation should not be ignored during the evaluation. Although motor movement is governed by the normal motor field, the adjustment of our position in space is entirely the task of the sensory field. It is not possible to initiate and coordinate movement without sensory control. Since environmental change cannot be perceived during movement, it is not possible to provide environmental adaptation.
