Deep Trunk Muscle Activation and Balance in Post-Stroke Hemiplegia
Sponsor: Istanbul Physical Medicine Rehabilitation Training and Research Hospital
Summary
Patients with post-stroke hemiplegia frequently exhibit balance impairments driven by multiple pathophysiological mechanisms. Although the role of core musculature in maintaining normal posture and balance is well established, and the benefits of core stabilization exercises have been documented, further research is needed on individual muscle contributions. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the specific impact of bilateral transversus abdominis and bilateral lumbar multifidus muscles on balance performance in patients with stroke-related hemiplegia.
