Muscle Oxygenation in Stroke Patients

Stroke Clinical Trial

Official title: How Does Motor Imagery Affect Lower Extremity Muscle Oxygenation in Stroke Patients?

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

In addition to its many effects, physical movement is known to change both systemic blood circulation and muscle blood flow. In a study examining the effects of motor imagery, which produces effects similar to physical movement, on muscle oxygenation, no change in muscle oxygenation was detected with motor imagery. However, no study has been found examining muscle oxygenation along with motor imagery in stroke patients. However, it has not been investigated whether there is a difference in muscle oxygenation between the affected and less affected extremities after stroke. For this reason, our study was planned to examine the effect of motor imagery on lower extremity muscle oxygenation in stroke patients. In addition, in our study, we will examine whether there is a difference in muscle oxygenation between the affected and less affected extremities in stroke patients under different conditions (rest / physical movement / motor imagery (mental movement)). Since there are insufficient studies in this field in the literature, we think that our study will lead to future studies.
