Brief summary
This study aims to examine the associations of interoceptive awareness and interoceptive accuracy with plantar superficial sensory threshold, knee joint proprioception, pain intensity, and dynamic balance performance in cognitively intact individuals with chronic hemiplegia. Hypotheses are: * H0: There is no significant relationship between interoception and light touch, proprioception, pain, or dynamic balance performance in cognitively intact individuals with chronic hemiplegia. * H1: There is a significant relationship between interoception and light touch, proprioception, pain, or dynamic balance performance in cognitively intact individuals with chronic hemiplegia All participants will undergo a single assessment session and will not be invited for any treatment or follow-up evaluation. Participants will not take any intervention.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Interoceptive Awareness | Day 1 | The Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness Version 2 (MAIA-2) consists of eight subscales, each scored from 0 to 5. Higher scores indicate greater interoceptive awareness in the corresponding domain. |
| Interoceptive Accuracy | Day 1 | Heartbeat Counting Task |
| Proprioception Assessment | Day 1 | Joint Position Reconstruction Test for the 45 degrees knee flexion. |
| Functional Mobility and Balance | Day 1 | Timed-up and Go Test |
| Functional Lower Extremity Strength | Day 1 | 5 Times Sit-to-Stand Test |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Light Touch Sensation | Day 1 | Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament Test on the plantar surface of the foot |
| Subjective Pain | Day 1 | The Numeric Rating Scale for Lower Extremity Pain Severity is an 11-point scale ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst pain imaginable. Higher scores indicate greater pain severity. |
| Fear of Falling | Day 1 | The Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I) consists of 16 items, with a total score ranging from 16 to 64. Higher scores indicate greater concern about falling (greater fear of falling). |
