简要总结
The study was aimed to determine the volumetric change in the corpus callosum after the rehabilitation program in patients with stroke. A total of 42 patients (22 males, 20 females), 21 right hemiplegic and 21 left hemiplegic patients with unilateral hemiplegia were enrolled in the rehabilitation program. Traditional physiotherapy treatment was applied 5 days in a week, 1 hour in a day for 6 weeks. The corpus callosum volumes were measured and evaluated on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images before and after the treatment.
详细描述
Physical therapy after stroke contributes to the physical and social recovery of the paralyzed person. Corpus callosum is the commissural fibers consisting of white matter connecting the cortical areas between hemispheres. Its main function is to provide information exchange and coordination by establishing interhemispheric connections between areas in the right and left hemispheres. Inactivity and decreased physical activity may cause a decrease in the volume of the corpus callosum in patients with stroke. It was aimed to determine the volumetric change in the corpus callosum after the rehabilitation program in patients with stroke. A total of 42 patients (22 males, 20 females), 21 right hemiplegic and 21 left hemiplegic patients with unilateral hemiplegia were enrolled in the rehabilitation program. Traditional physiotherapy treatment was applied 5 days in a week, 1 hour in a day for 6 weeks. The corpus callosum volumes were measured and evaluated on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images before and after the treatment.

结局指标
主要结局
Corpus Callosum Volume
时间窗: up to 2 weeks
The measurements of the patients were evaluated on sagittal T2-weighted images. The slice thickness is 1.1 mm. Starting from the slice where the borders of the corpus callosum were clearly seen on the sagittal images, the circumference of the corpus callosum was marked on all sagittal slices where the borders of the corpus callosum were seen in consecutive slices.
