The aim of this study is to examine the effect of using foot-ankle orthosis at different angles on hyperextension control in stroke patients.

The hypotheses of the study are:

Hypothesis 1:

Ho: The foot-ankle orthosis, which fixes the ankle at different angles (3 degrees of dorsiflexion - 5 degrees of dorsiflexion) in stroke patients, has no effect on the control of knee hyperextension.

H1: Foot-ankle orthosis, which fixes the ankle at different angles (3 degrees of dorsiflexion - 5 degrees of dorsiflexion) in stroke patients, has an effect on the control of knee hyperextension.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Between the ages of 40 and 65
• Six months must have passed since the stroke.
• Ambulation regardless of the use of a walking aid (walker, cane, or tripod)
• Obtaining between 0 and 3 Modified Rankin Score points
• A score of 24 or higher on the Mini Mental Test is required to pass.
• Hyperextension during the stance phase of gait.
• Participating voluntarily in the study

Exclusion Criteria:

• Having a history of more than one stroke
• Dementia is known to exist
• Having a diagnosed orthopedic, mental, or neurological condition
• Having a circumstance that impedes communication
• Having a history of lower extremity and gait-related surgeries
