Brief Summary: Conditions such as hemiparesis sensory and motor impairment perceptual impairment cognitive impairment aphasia and dysphagia may be observed after stroke Motor impairment after stroke may occur due to damage to any part of the brain related to motor control There is much clinical evidence that damage to different parts of the sensorimotor cortex in humans affects other aspects of motor function Loss of strength spasticity limb apraxia loss of voluntary movements Babinski sign and motor neglect are typical motor deficits following a cortical lesion upper motor neuron lesion Post-stroke spasticity can be seen in 19 to 92 of stroke survivors Post-stroke hemiparesis is a significant cause of morbidity and disability along with abnormal muscle tone It has also been recognized that post-stroke hemiparesis may occur without spasticity Spasticity seen after stroke causes loss of movement control painful spasms abnormal posture increased muscle tone and a general decrease in muscle function and may affect limb blood flow Studies in the literature show that spasticity can affect limb blood flow

This study aims to investigate the relationship between muscle oxygenation and spasticity in post-stroke hemiparetic patients based on the idea that oxygenation may be insufficient as a result of restriction of blood flow on the affected side due to spasticity in stroke patients
Detailed Description: Conditions such as hemiparesis sensory and motor impairment perceptual impairment cognitive impairment aphasia and dysphagia may be observed after stroke Motor impairment after stroke may occur due to damage to any part of the brain related to motor control There is much clinical evidence that damage to different parts of the sensorimotor cortex in humans affects other aspects of motor function Loss of strength spasticity limb apraxia loss of voluntary movements Babinski sign and motor neglect are typical motor deficits following a cortical lesion upper motor neuron lesion Post-stroke spasticity can be seen in 19 to 92 of stroke survivors Post-stroke hemiparesis is a significant cause of morbidity and disability along with abnormal muscle tone It has also been recognized that post-stroke hemiparesis may occur without spasticity Spasticity seen after stroke causes loss of movement control painful spasms abnormal posture increased muscle tone and a general decrease in muscle function and may affect limb blood flow Studies in the literature show that spasticity can affect limb blood flow

Motor deficits seen in stroke patients and the conditions caused by them cause various limitations in the daily life of patients and affect their participation in daily life and quality of life Decreased involvement in daily life negatively affects patients both socially and financially Evaluating and identifying the disorders taking preventive and developmental measures and establishing treatment programs are necessary to increase participation Therefore objective and accurate assessment significantly affects the progress of the process

Medical and surgical treatment and physiotherapy and rehabilitation approaches constitute the basis of treatment in stroke disease The treatment of patients is carried out using a multidisciplinary approach involving many fields such as medical and surgical treatment physiotherapy and rehabilitation practices For this reason it is seen that the financial burden which cannot be covered by the insurance system from time to time is relatively high This burden is gradually increasing in direct proportion to the needs of the patients For this reason it is essential to develop practices and strategies for the patients objective and most accurate evaluation follow the clinical course and create the most appropriate treatment program

Although it is not among the routine evaluation methods considering the studies conducted muscle oxygenation should be considered in the evaluation phase in line with the possibilities
