Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Stroke; Exercise
• Interventions: Other: ROM Exercises

• Registration Number: NCT05660902
• Lead Sponsor: TC Erciyes University

Brief Summary

Aim: This study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of ROM exercises applied to individuals who had a stroke on functional independence and quality of life.

Design: This study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study Methods: The study was conducted with 80 individuals, 40 of whom were in the intervention group and 40 in the control group, who received inpatient treatment in the neurology service of a regional city hospital, and met the inclusion criteria. Planned ROM exercises were applied to the individuals in the intervention group 3 times a day for 2 weeks, and no application was made to the control group other than routine treatment. Data were collected by the researcher using the Questionnaire Form, Patient Information Form, Functional Independence Scale and Stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale.
