About this study

There is a crucial need to have a better understanding of effect of pelvic inclination on sit to stand activity and to know the important factors to be considered to improve the patients' treatment and performance. Forty five participants are recruiting to assess the pelvic tilt angles in stroke patients during sitting position and to analyze the influence of pelvic tilt angles on ability to perform sit to stand task during rising from a chair in stroke patients.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients' age ranged from 45-60 years old.
  • Normal body weight with a body mass index (BMI) ranged from 18.5 to 24.9 kg/m2.
  • Patients' had the ability to maintain sitting position without using any aids.
  • Patients' had the ability to stand from sitting five times independently.
  • Cooperative patients with ability to understand instructions and follow simple verbal commands.
  • The duration of illness was from six months to 2 years.
  • The degree of the paretic lower limb spasticity ranged between (1:1+) according to the Modified Ashworth Scale.
  • The degree of the paretic lower limb weakness was not less than grade 3 according to group muscle testing.

Exclusion criteria

  • History of previous strokes and other neurological disorders.
  • Visual, auditory and vestibular deficits.
  • Cognitive impairments and language deficits.
  • Leg length discrepancy is more than 0.5 cm.
  • Previous history of orthopedic conditions in back or lower limbs (e.g. low back pain, fractures, deformities and surgeries).

Treatment and study plan

Sagittal pelvic tilt assessment

Other

Each group passed by three phases of assessment. Firstly assess the pelvic tilt angles from sitting position. Secondly assess the pelvic tilt angles from dynamic sit to stand task. Thirdly, assess the ability to perform sit to stand task of each participant.

Primary outcomes

  1. posterior pelvic tilt angle

    Time frame: One shot (Each participant was assessed immediately and it takes about 15 minutes)

    Posterior pelvic tilt angle measured by the palpation meter (PALM) inclinometer. It was assessed as one shot in one assessment session.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Pelvic Inclination analysis in sit to stand task

    Time frame: One shot (Each participant is assessed immediately and it takes about 10 minutes)

    Pelvic Inclination analysis in sit to stand task by Two dimensional video based motion analysis in three phases of sit to stand task. It will be assessed as one shot in one assessment session.
