Summary

Shoulder problems are among the most common complications in hemiplegic patients and may impair shoulder biomechanics, negatively affecting mobility, transfers, and self-care. This study aims to investigate whether shoulder problems influence balance in hemiplegic patients after stroke. Patients with a first-ever stroke diagnosis, sufficient cognitive function (Mini Mental State Examination score ≥24), no visual impairments, and aged between 40-75 years were included. Hemiplegic patients with shoulder pain formed the first group, while those without shoulder pain formed the second group. Shoulder pain was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), shoulder range of motion with the Senso4Motion device, and balance level with both the Berg Balance Scale and Senso4Motion.
