About

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of using foot-ankle orthosis at different angles on hyperextension control in stroke patients.

The hypotheses of the study are:

Hypothesis 1:

Ho: The foot-ankle orthosis, which fixes the ankle at different angles (3 degrees of dorsiflexion - 5 degrees of dorsiflexion) in stroke patients, has no effect on the control of knee hyperextension.

H1: Foot-ankle orthosis, which fixes the ankle at different angles (3 degrees of dorsiflexion - 5 degrees of dorsiflexion) in stroke patients, has an effect on the control of knee hyperextension.
