About

The purposes of this study is to investigate the differences in upper extremity function, sleep quality, and functional independence between patients with and without hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP).

HSP is defined as musculoskeletal pain in the affected shoulders of individuals after stroke.Numerous studies have found an association between post-stroke shoulder pain and range of motion, sensory impairment, subluxation, spasticity, and complex regional pain syndrome. HSP is a problem that, starting from mild discomfort, leads to gradual functional impairment, ultimately resulting in increasing disability and decreased independence.In the literature, the relationship between HSP and upper extremity function, functional independence, and sleep quality has not been clarified.
