Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess and determine the influence of pelvic inclination on sit to stand task in stroke patients.

Description:

There is a crucial need to have a better understanding of effect of pelvic inclination on sit to stand activity and to know the important factors to be considered to improve the patients' treatment and performance. Forty five participants are recruiting to assess the pelvic tilt angles in stroke patients during sitting position and to analyze the influence of pelvic tilt angles on ability to perform sit to stand task during rising from a chair in stroke patients.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	posterior pelvic tilt angle	Posterior pelvic tilt angle measured by the palpation meter (PALM) inclinometer. It was assessed as one shot in one assessment session.	One shot (Each participant was assessed immediately and it takes about 15 minutes)
Secondary	Pelvic Inclination analysis in sit to stand task	Pelvic Inclination analysis in sit to stand task by Two dimensional video based motion analysis in three phases of sit to stand task. It will be assessed as one shot in one assessment session.	One shot (Each participant is assessed immediately and it takes about 10 minutes)
