Investigation Of The Relationship Between Postural Control And Quality Of Life In Stroke Patients

Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between postural control and quality of life in stroke patients. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 90 patients who had a stroke and were continuing to participate in a physiotherapy program. Demographic information and the duration of the stroke were recorded. Postural control and balance were measured with the Postural Assessment Scale (PASS-Turk) and quality of life was assessed with the Stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale (SS-QOL). Results: Of the 90 stroke patients included in the study, 53.3% were women (n=48) and 46.7% were men (n=42). The mean age of the participants was 51.96 ± 14.64 years. The mean body mass index of the patients in the overweight group was 26.07 ± 4.27 kg/m². The mean score of the PASS-Turk scale was 20.97 ± 8.87 and the mean score of the SS-QOL scale was 131.77 ± 41.76. A moderately significant correlation was found between the scores of the stroke patients on the PASS-Turk scale and the SS-QOL scale (r= 0.65, p<0.001). A significant negative correlation was found between age and the PASS-Turk score and between age and the SS-QOL score (r=-0.35, p=0.001; r=-0.38, p<0.001). There was a relationship between gender and quality of life ((r= 0.40, p<0.001). A negative relationship was found between the duration after stroke and postural control (r=-0.40, p<0.001). Conclusion: In stroke patients, there was a relationship between age and postural control and age and quality of life. There was also a positive correlation between postural control and quality of life. The results suggest that regular assessments of postural control may positively affect patients' quality of life. Therefore, the importance of postural control should be emphasized in rehabilitation programs after stroke.
