Interventions

  • Plantar Vibration — OTHER
    The patients in the study group will receive plantar vibration intervention with a frequency of 100 Hz on the affected plantar region for 30 minutes each day over 3 consecutive days.
  • Placebo Plantar Vibration — OTHER
    Participants in the placebo group will undergo the same procedure as the experimental group, including session duration and conventional rehabilitation, but the vibration device will not make contact with the plantar surface of the foot. The intervention will be delivered for 30 minutes per day over three consecutive days, with the device operating at 100 Hz.

Study Details

This study aims to evaluate the effects of local vibration applied to the plantar surface of the foot on gait speed and dynamic balance in individuals with stroke.

Arms

  • Experimental: Plantar Vibration Intervention Group
    In addition to the conventional rehabilitation program, participants in this group will receive plantar vibration applied to the affected plantar region at a frequency of 100 Hz. The vibration will be delivered for 30 minutes per day over three consecutive days, divided into three 10-minute application periods separated by 1-minute rests.
  • Placebo Comparator: Placebo Vibration Group
    Participants in the placebo group will undergo the same procedure as the experimental group, including the session duration and conventional rehabilitation exercises, but the vibration device will not make contact with the plantar surface of the foot. The placebo plantar vibration will be applied for 30 minutes each day over 3 consecutive days. Participants are blinded to group allocation.
