Berg Balance Scale |
The BBS is used to objectively determine a patient's ability to balance safely during a predetermined set of tasks. The scale comprises 14 items. Each item receives a score ranging from 0 to 4, which is a five-point rank scale with 0 indicating the lowest level of functioning and 4 indicating the highest level of functioning |

Functional Ambulation Scale |
Functional Ambulation Scale is a 6-point functional walking test that evaluates ambulation ability and determines the amount of human support required by patients while walking, regardless of whether they use a personal assistive device. A score of 0 indicates that the patient has a dysfunctional ambulation A score of 5 denotes independent ambulation on any surface. |

Brunnstrom Stages |
Brunnstrom stages is a scale used to assess motor recovery after a stroke, which is expressed using values between 1 and 6. The higher the value on this scale, the higher would be the recovery. |

Barthel Index |
The Barthel index is used to assess activities of daily living. It consists of 10 items: feeding, bathing, grooming, dressing, bowel, bladder, toilet use, transfers, mobility, stairs. Scores range from 0-100. A score of 100 represents complete independence, and a score of 0 represents complete dependence. |

Modified Ashworth Scale |
Spasticity in the shoulder will be evaluated according to the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS). The Modified Ashworth Scale is a 6-point scale. Scores range from 0 to 4, where lower scores represent normal muscle tone and higher scores represent increased degree of spasticity. |

6 min walking test |
It is used to evaluate the functional capacity of patients. The patient is asked to walk in a 30-meter corridor marked at 3-meter intervals. At the end of the test, the distance walked by the patient is recorded in meters. |

Fatigue Severity Scale |
The scale consists of 9 questions that test the fatigue severity of the subjects in the last week. It is scored from 1 to 7. The result is found by the arithmetic mean. 4 or more indicates severe fatigue. |

Rectus Femoris Muscle Thickness |
The linear probe of the ultrasound will be placed transversely at the midpoint of the distance between the trochanter major and the lateral space of the knee joint, and muscle thickness will be measured without applying pressure. |

Pennate angle |
Pennate angle can be defined as the angle of entry of muscle fibers into the aponeurosis. At the point where the rectus femoris muscle thickness is measured, the investigators will turn the ultrasound probe horizontally and measure the pennate angle formed by 3 different muscle fibers with the bottom fascia by goniometry and record the arithmetic average of these measurements. |

Muscle strength measurement: |
Knee extensor and flexor muscle strength will be measured with a North Coast hydraulic hand dynamometer. During the measurements, the knee will be in 90 degrees flexion while the patient is in a sitting position, the dynamometer will be placed in front of the ankle and the patient will be asked to push the dynamometer with all his strength, 3 measurements will be made and the average will be recorded as isometric knee extensor muscle strength. In the same way, the dynamometer will be placed behind the ankle and the patient will be asked to push the dynamometer with all his strength, the average of the 3 measurements will be taken and recorded as isometric knee flexor muscle strength. |

Fugl-Meyer Assessment for lower extremity |
In the lower extremity motor subscale, reflex activity in supine and sitting positions, flexor synergy in supine position, extensor synergy in side-lying position, combined synergies in sitting, non-synergy movements in standing, normal reflexes in sitting position are examined. Each item is scored with a 3-point ordinal scale (0: unable at all, 1: partially able, 2: fully able). The maximum score is 28. |
