Summary

A stroke due to a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is a neurological deficit characterized by the rapid settlement of signs and symptoms due to focal or global loss of cerebral function, without any apparent cause other than vascular causes. Stroke is one of the most common cardiovascular events in the world. In addition to complications such as spasticity, loss of strength, balance problems, speech and swallowing problems, pulmonary complications are also common in stroke. When the literature is examined, there are a limited number of studies evaluating respiratory functions and functional capacity as a result of core stabilization exercises applied to stroke patients. There is no study in the literature examining the results of core stabilization exercises on respiratory functions, functional capacity, trunk control, and balance in stroke patients. The aim of this study; to investigate the effects of core stabilization training applied in addition to traditional physical therapy on respiratory functions, functional capacity, trunk control, and balance in stroke individuals after cerebrovascular accidents.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Core stabilization + Traditional Physical Therapy

In addition to the traditional physical therapy training, core stabilization exercises will be applied 3 days a week for 6 weeks, and 20 minutes in each session under the supervision of a physiotherapist. Core stabilization exercises; will gradually progress from easy exercises to difficult ones. Exercises will be performed in supine, hook position, sitting position, on stable and mobile surfaces. Exercises will progress from 1 set to 3 sets, from 7 to 10 reps, contractions from 3 seconds to 10 seconds. All exercises will be performed with breathing control. The exercises will be progressed by gradually increasing them every week.

OTHER

Traditional Physical Therapy

Traditional physical therapy training will be given for 40 minutes each session, 3 times a week for 6 weeks under the supervision of a physiotherapist. As a traditional physical therapy program, a rehabilitation program that increases mobility and daily living activities will be applied to patients. * Joint range of motion exercises * Stretching exercises * Strengthening exercises * Bobath-based neurophysiological approaches * Task-oriented training * 15 minutes of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) application
