The range of motion (ROM), 10 meters walk test, Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), strength measurements, and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) were performed. <br /> <b>Results: </b> In the measurements including dorsi flexion ROM, EMG-BF, NMMT (right and left), a significant difference was found in all Groups. Also, the significant difference in dorsi flexion ROM was higher in Group 3 than Group 2 and Group 1. Additionally, the plantar flexion ROM was higher in Group 1 than Group 3 and Group 2. <br /> <b>Conclusion: </b>There were the positive effects of three different treatment methods on ROM, walking time, spasticity and mTA muscle strength. Also, three treatment modalities contributed to recovery level of hemiplegic patients.  <br />}, number={1}, publisher={Adıyaman University}
