Ideomotor Apraxia and Robotic Gait Rehabilitation Outcomes After Stroke
Sponsor: Izmir City Hospital
Summary
After a stroke, some people have difficulty planning and carrying out familiar movements. This difficulty is called ideomotor apraxia and cannot be explained by muscle weakness alone. It may influence how people improve during rehabilitation. This study will examine whether ideomotor apraxia is associated with changes in walking, balance, and independence in adults receiving rehabilitation after stroke at Izmir City Hospital. Participants will be assessed for apraxia before rehabilitation and followed during their usual rehabilitation program, which includes conventional rehabilitation and RehaWalk-supported gait training. Walking and other functional abilities will be evaluated before and after the rehabilitation program. Changes will be compared between participants with and without apraxia. The study will observe routine care. Participants will not be assigned to different treatments, and no experimental treatment will be provided. The findings may help clinicians understand whether apraxia is useful for predicting rehabilitation outcomes after stroke.
