Overview
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.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Between the ages of 40 and 65
- •Six months must have passed since the stroke.
- •Ambulation regardless of the use of a walking aid (walker, cane, or tripod)
- •Obtaining between 0 and 3 Modified Rankin Score points
- •A score of 24 or higher on the Mini Mental Test is required to pass.
- •Hyperextension during the stance phase of gait.
- •Participating voluntarily in the study
Exclusion Criteria

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Kinematic Analysis
Time Frame: 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.
