Overview
Brief Summary
The study aims to examine whether trunk control affects sitting balance and upper extremity functions in patients with subacute stroke.
Detailed Description
Patients who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be informed about the study and the participants who agree to participate in the study will be given the "Mini-Mental Test" and "Brunnstrom Upper Extremity Staging" tests, respectively. Then, Trunk Impairment Scale, Trunk Control Test, Function in Sitting Test, and "Fugl Meyer Upper Extremity Test" will be applied respectively. Thirty patients with stroke will included in the study. Trunk Impairment Scale and Trunk Control Test will used to assess trunk control assessment. Fugl-Meyer Assessment of the upper extremity will used to assess upper extremity. Function in Sitting Test will used to assess sitting balance. To evaluate between correlation trunk control and upper extremity and sitting balance will used to correlation analysis tests

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Trunk Impairment Scale
Time Frame: Baseline (First assessment)
It is a scale developed for the evaluation of the trunk after stroke. It consists of 3 parts:static sitting balance, dynamic sitting balance and coordination. A maximum of 23 points can be obtained, 3 from the static section, 10 from the dynamic section, and 4 from the coordination section. Except for the coordination part, each part is evaluated bilaterally.
Trunk Control Test
Time Frame: Baseline (First assessment)
Trunk Control Test is a test developed to evaluate trunk control. It consists of 4 parts. The test consists of the parameters of turning from the supine position to the weak and strong side, coming from the supine position to the sitting position and maintaining the sitting balance. The scoring of each section is 0-12-25. The total score is between 0-100. Higher scores indicate better trunk control of the patient.
Secondary Outcomes
- Fugl-Meyer Assessment(Baseline (First assessment))
- Function in Sitting Test (FIST)(Baseline (First assessment))
