- Conditions
- Stroke
- Interventions
- Other: functional electrical stimulationOther: kinesotaping
- Registration Number
- NCT05473390
- Lead Sponsor
- Beni-Suef University
- Brief Summary
Hemiplegic patient have unbalanced posture because paralysis leads to muscle atrophy, which then causes an unbalanced alignment in the structure of spinal joints. Evaluation and therapy of postural alignment are important as early predictable factors in the overall daily function of stroke patients
- Detailed Description
To evaluate whether the application of FES of the back muscles in hemiplegic affect spinal posture and/or gait
