Post-Stroke Apraxia, Motor Function, Balance, and Gait

Sponsor: Izmir City Hospital

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to examine whether ideomotor apraxia is associated with motor function, balance, walking performance, and independence in daily activities in adults with hemiplegia after stroke. Ideomotor apraxia is a condition in which a person has difficulty planning and correctly performing learned movements, despite understanding the instructions. It is common after stroke, particularly when the left side of the brain is affected. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Do participants with ideomotor apraxia have lower independence in daily activities, as measured by the motor subscale of the Functional Independence Measure (Motor FIM), than participants without apraxia? * Is the severity of ideomotor apraxia associated with upper limb motor function, balance, and walking performance? Participants will attend one assessment session during routine follow-up at the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic. They will undergo standardized clinical assessments of apraxia, upper limb motor function, balance, walking performance, and independence in daily activities. No treatment, medication, blood sampling, or imaging will be performed as part of this study.
