Clinical Trial: Relationship Between Gastrocnemius and Soleus Muscle Thickness Assessed by Ultrasound and Balance and Fear of Falling in Hemiplegic Patients

U.S., Sept. 11 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07812428) titled 'Relationship Between Gastrocnemius and Soleus Muscle Thickness Assessed by Ultrasound and Balance and Fear of Falling in Hemiplegic Patients' on Sept. 04.

Brief Summary: Structural and functional changes occurring in the lower extremity muscles of hemiplegic stroke patients play a decisive role in gait ability, balance impairment, and fall risk. In this context, the relationship between muscle architecture parameters such as the thickness of the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles and functional performance is being investigated. Ultrasonography is a reliable and accessible method for the non-invasive assessment of muscle thickness. ...
