Postural Assessment of Stroke Patients by Pose Estimation and Effects of Dynamic Core Postural Chain Stabilization

Not Applicable

Active, not recruiting

• Conditions: Stroke
• Interventions: Diagnostic Test: Group A; Behavioral: Group B

• Registration Number: NCT06478069
• Lead Sponsor: Superior University

Brief Summary

This study focuses on a two-pronged strategy to enhance the rehabilitation of stroke patients. It first investigates the application of pose estimating technologies to objectively measure posture.

Detailed Description

This can entail capturing a patient's body position with cameras or other sensors in order to detect any imbalances or variations from normal posture brought on by the stroke. The study also looks at how well dynamic core postural chain stabilization (DCS) methods work for stroke recovery. The goal of DCS exercises is to increase stability and strength in the core, which can help with general postural control. This research aims to optimize stroke patient rehabilitation by combining a precise evaluation approach with a focused intervention strategy, which may result in improved balance, movement, and functional abilities.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS) Score	12 months	The total score for TIS ranges between 0 for a minimal performance to 23 for a perfect performance. In a recent version of the TIS (version 2.0) for adults, the static subscale was removed because of a ceiling effect, total score ranges between 0 and 16 points
Berg Balance Scale	12 Months	For evaluating balance in a variety of functional tasks, the BBS is a commonly used and validated test. After the intervention period, the BBS scores of the control group and the intervention group (who received DCS techniques) can be compared. The efficacy of DCS in enhancing postural control would be strongly supported by a statistically significant increase in the intervention group's BBS score.
