Studying turn performance, trunk control, and mobility in acute stroke subjects: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Stroke leads to various impairments like motor deficits, impaired trunk control and restricted mobility. However, rehabilitation professionals often underestimate the fundamental function of turning, which is essential for daily living activities like walking, cooking, or performing household chores. Impaired turning can be attributed to motor deficits post-stroke, resulting in restricted mobility and impaired trunk movement. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the relationship between turn performance, trunk control, and mobility in stroke patients.

Materials and methods

A total of 63 first-time supratentorial stroke (i.e., anterior circulation stroke) patients aged 18-90 years were recruited for the study. Turn performance was assessed by aski
