Relationship Between Pelvic Tilt and Sit to Stand Task in Stroke Patients

Completed

• Conditions: Stroke
• Interventions: Other: Sagittal pelvic tilt assessment

• Registration Number: NCT03053154
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess and determine the influence of pelvic inclination on sit to stand task in stroke patients.

Detailed Description

There is a crucial need to have a better understanding of effect of pelvic inclination on sit to stand activity and to know the important factors to be considered to improve the patients' treatment and performance. Forty five participants are recruiting to assess the pelvic tilt angles in stroke patients during sitting position and to analyze the influence of pelvic tilt angles on ability to perform sit to stand task during rising from a chair in stroke patients.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Experimental group2	Sagittal pelvic tilt assessment	15 stroke patients with left side affection, their age ranged form 45 to 60 were recruited to assess the pelvic tilt angles from sitting position and from the dynamic task of sit to stand.
Experimental group1	Sagittal pelvic tilt assessment	15 stroke patients with right side affection, their age ranged form 45 to 60 were recruited to assess the pelvic tilt angles from sitting position and from the dynamic task of sit to stand.
Control group	Sagittal pelvic tilt assessment	15 Normal subjects without any diseases or dysfunctions , their age ranged form 45 to 60 were recruited to assess the pelvic tilt angles from sitting position and from the dynamic task of sit to stand.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
posterior pelvic tilt angle	One shot (Each participant was assessed immediately and it takes about 15 minutes)	Posterior pelvic tilt angle measured by the palpation meter (PALM) inclinometer. It was assessed as one shot in one assessment session.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Pelvic Inclination analysis in sit to stand task	One shot (Each participant is assessed immediately and it takes about 10 minutes)	Pelvic Inclination analysis in sit to stand task by Two dimensional video based motion analysis in three phases of sit to stand task. It will be assessed as one shot in one assessment session.
