Abstract:
Objective: Hemiplegic patients experience loss of sensation and balance. In some patients, sensory and balance rehabilitation may vary depending on the treatment content they receive. It is a fact that the anatomical neuronal regions affected in such patients may cause different damages for each person with interneuronal relationships. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of proprioception and other sensory parameters and balance levels of hemiplegic patients who have completed treatment and are able to walk independently due to anatomically affected Fasciculus gracilis (FG) and Fasciculus cuneatus (FC). Methods: A total of 24 patients were included (12 female and 12 male) who were diagnosed and treated with hemiplegia in this study. Participants consisted of 12 dominant and 12 non-dominant hemiplegic patients. Extremity length-circumference measurements, evaluation of vibration, two-point discrimination, balance and proprioception (Technobody prokin 252) senses of participants were evaluated. Results: In the examination between balance and sensory parameters; a moderate positive correlation was found between proprioception-bipedal balance. In addition, a strong correlation was found between proprioception-left hemiplegia left leg balance (p˂0.05). Conclusion: In this study, we concluded that the effect rate of FC and FG will affect the sense of proprioception and that this sense is related to balance, which is one of the main parameters of mobilization, so that the general body balance and sensory integrity should be associated in the recovery process.
