Relationship Between Pelvic Tilt and Sit to Stand Task in Stroke Patients

Cairo University45 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this study is to assess and determine the influence of pelvic inclination on sit to stand task in stroke patients.

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.

Sagittal pelvic tilt assessmentOTHER

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.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

posterior pelvic tilt angle

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

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

Secondary Outcomes

Pelvic Inclination analysis in sit to stand task

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.

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