About

The purpose of this study is to assess and determine the influence of pelvic inclination on sit to stand task in stroke patients.

Full description

There is a crucial need to have a better understanding of effect of pelvic inclination on sit to stand activity and to know the important factors to be considered to improve the patients' treatment and performance. Forty five participants are recruiting to assess the pelvic tilt angles in stroke patients during sitting position and to analyze the influence of pelvic tilt angles on ability to perform sit to stand task during rising from a chair in stroke patients.

Enrollment: 45 patients

Sex: Male

Ages: 45 to 60 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Patients' age ranged from 45-60 years old.
• Normal body weight with a body mass index (BMI) ranged from 18.5 to 24.9 kg/m2.
• Patients' had the ability to maintain sitting position without using any aids.
• Patients' had the ability to stand from sitting five times independently.
• Cooperative patients with ability to understand instructions and follow simple verbal commands.
• The duration of illness was from six months to 2 years.
• The degree of the paretic lower limb spasticity ranged between (1:1+) according to the Modified Ashworth Scale.
• The degree of the paretic lower limb weakness was not less than grade 3 according to group muscle testing.

Exclusion criteria

• History of previous strokes and other neurological disorders.
• Visual, auditory and vestibular deficits.
• Cognitive impairments and language deficits.
• Leg length discrepancy is more than 0.5 cm.
• Previous history of orthopedic conditions in back or lower limbs (e.g. low back pain, fractures, deformities and surgeries).

Trial design

Experimental group2

Description:

15 stroke patients with left side affection, their age ranged form 45 to 60 were recruited to assess the pelvic tilt angles from sitting position and from the dynamic task of sit to stand.

Treatment:

Other: Sagittal pelvic tilt assessment

Control group

Description:

15 Normal subjects without any diseases or dysfunctions , their age ranged form 45 to 60 were recruited to assess the pelvic tilt angles from sitting position and from the dynamic task of sit to stand.
