No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this study was to evaluate the architectural changes and muscle stiffness of the upper and lower extremity muscles in our hemiplegic patients ultrasonographically and to investigate their relationship with clinical assessment scales.

Conditions

  • Hemiplegia
  • Hemiparesis After Stroke
  • Spasticity

Interventions

OTHER

Ultrasonography of muscles

The biceps brachii, flexor digitorum superficialis and profundus muscles and gastrocnemius muscles of the participants on the affected and unaffected sides will be evaluated ultrasonographically. Two researchers (with at least 5 years of experience in ultrasound imaging) blinded to the clinical evaluations of the patients and previous measurements will evaluate the same patients at two different times to test interobserver reproducibility. Muscle thickness, fascicle length and pennation angle will be recorded on B-mode imaging. In addition, elastographic evaluation will be performed on the same muscles and strain rate will be recorded.
