Official title
Effects of Lumbar Spinal Manipulation on Balance and Fall Risk in Patients With Chronic Stroke: A Randomized Crossover Trial
Overview
The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of lumbar spinal manipulation on balance and fall risk of the patients with chronic stroke.
Detailed description
The study, utilizing a randomized crossover design, is planned to be conducted on a minimum of 26 patients with stroke who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients included in the study will be randomly assigned to receive both placebo lumbar spinal manipulation and lumbar spinal manipulation interventions.
Interventions
- Other Lumbar Spinal Manipulation
This technique is based on the application of a high-velocity, low-amplitude force to the lumbar spine with the aim of increasing mobility. - Other Placebo Lumbar Spinal Manipulation
This intervention is a classic method used to evaluate the effect of lumbar spinal manipulation.
Primary outcome measures
- Overall Postural Stability Index Measurement [Time frame: Change from baseline overall postural stability index immediately after the intervention]
- Fall Risk Assessment [Time frame: Change from baseline fall risk immediately after the intervention]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Anteroposterior Stability Index Measurement [Time frame: Change from baseline anteroposterior postural stability index immediately after the intervention]
- Mediolateral Stability Index Measurement [Time frame: Change from baseline mediolateral stability index immediately after the intervention]
Eligibility criteria

- Being between 18 and 75 years of age,
- Ability to walk independently for 10 meters, using assistive devices or orthoses if necessary,
- Daily blood pressure not exceeding 140/90 mmHg (or controlled with antihypertensive medication)
Exclusion criteria
