Cognitive Coping, Hemiplegia
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of dual-task exercises combined with robotic rehabilitation applied to post-stroke hemiplegia patients.
Detailed description
This research is designed as a randomized controlled experimental study. The study will be conducted on 40 hemiplegic patients. Participants will be randomly divided into two groups. Patients in the exercise group will be subjected to dual-task exercises together with robotic rehabilitation. Patients in the control group will be subjected to only the robotic rehabilitation treatment program. Both groups will be treated with 30-45 minute sessions, 3 days a week for 6 weeks. The exercises will be explained to the patients in detail one-on-one and repeated.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Timed up and go test | 14 weeks | Timed up and go test is used for the assessment of falls risk among elderly population. The Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test measures, in seconds, the time taken by an individual to stand up from a standard arm chair (approximate seat height of 46 cm, arm height 65 cm), walk a distance of 3 meters (approximately 10 feet), turn, walk back to the chair, and sit down. Normal healthy elderly usually complete the task in 10 seconds or less. Very frail or weak elderly with poor mobility may take 2 minutes or more. Clinical guide: \<10 seconds = normal \<20 seconds = good mobility, can go out alone, mobile without a gait aid \<30 seconds = problems, cannot go outside alone, requires a gait aid A score of more than or equal to 14 seconds has been shown to indicate high risk of falls. |
| Improvement on Montreal Cognitive Assessment test of 5 points or more than baseline( total score is out of 30 points) | 14 weeks | Subject will complete 3 Montreal Cognitive assessment prior to study over 1 week time. Best score of three is used. After study is complete subject will also undergo 3 Montreal cognitive assessment over 1 week immediately after study. Again best score is used. |
| Mini-Mental State Examination | 14 weeks | Mini-Mental State Examination, 1 point for each correct answer maximun score: 30 - minimum score:24 |
