Boxing and Scapular Stabilization Training in Hemiparetics

In recent years, it has been observed that scapular stabilization exercises given in addition to stretching exercises in stroke patients strengthen the scapular muscles and improve walking and trunk alignment. In a study published in 2020, in which the investigators compared the effects of virtual and real boxing training on upper extremity functions, balance and cognitive functions in stroke patients, significant improvement was observed in each parameter in both groups. When the investigators look at the literature, the investigators see that there is no study comparing the effects of both scapular stabilization and boxing training on upper extremity functions and trunk balance in stroke patients. Therefore the aim of this study, compare the effects of boxing and scapular stabilization training on scapular mobility (primary outcome measure), upper extremity range of motion, shoulder proprioception, scapular balance angle, scapular muscle strength, trunk muscle strength, upper extremity motor functions, trunk balance and treatment satisfaction (secondary outcome measures) in hemiparetic individuals with stroke.
