Validity and Reliability of the Hypertonia Assessment Tool (HAT) in Stroke Patients
Sponsor: Fatih Sultan Mehmet Training and Research Hospital
Summary
In this study, the validity and reliability of the Hypertonia Assessment Tool (HAT), which has previously been validated in the pediatric cerebral palsy (CP) population, will be evaluated in adult individuals who have experienced a stroke. The HAT is a specific clinical instrument designed to differentiate subtypes of hypertonia, including spasticity, dystonia, and rigidity. Accurate classification of hypertonia subtypes following stroke is crucial for guiding rehabilitation strategies. However, the HAT has not yet been validated in the adult post-stroke population. This study will be conducted at the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic of SBU Fatih Sultan Mehmet Training and Research Hospital. The study aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of the HAT for use in adults with stroke.
