Brief summary
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of using foot-ankle orthosis at different angles on hyperextension control in stroke patients. The hypotheses of the study are: Hypothesis 1: Ho: The foot-ankle orthosis, which fixes the ankle at different angles (3 degrees of dorsiflexion - 5 degrees of dorsiflexion) in stroke patients, has no effect on the control of knee hyperextension. H1: Foot-ankle orthosis, which fixes the ankle at different angles (3 degrees of dorsiflexion - 5 degrees of dorsiflexion) in stroke patients, has an effect on the control of knee hyperextension.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Kinematic Analysis | Baseline | At the specified anatomical sites of the participants, reflective signs will be placed. The participants will be required to walk 5 meters. The three-dimensional positions of these reflective marks will be captured by the 8-camera Vicon motion capture system. Using the blade software, it will be moved to the computer environment and kinematic data will be collected. |
