This is a cross-sectional clinical study planned to include 138 stroke patients receiving inpatient treatment at the Istanbul Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Training and Research Hospital.Data on kinesiophobia (Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale-17) , balance performance (Berg Balance Scale) , balance confidence (Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale-6) , fear of falling (Falls Efficacy Scale) , pain (VAS) , and mood (HADS) will be collected. Clinical and demographic data, including Brunnstrom stages and Barthel Index, will also be recorded. The relationships between these variables will be analyzed statistically.

The source population for this cross-sectional study is the adult patient population with a diagnosis of Stroke who are receiving inpatient physical medicine and rehabilitation services in a public training and research hospital setting in Turkey. Specifically, participants will be recruited from the İstanbul Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Training and Research Hospital inpatient clinic. This setting provides access to a consecutive sample of individuals with varying degrees of functional deficits who are undergoing an organized rehabilitation program.

De-identified individual participant data (IPD), including all demographic, clinical, and primary/secondary outcome measures will be shared with qualified researchers. The sharing period will commence 6 months after article publication and conclude 1 year thereafter. Data access requests must be accompanied by a methodologically sound proposal and will be granted upon the corresponding author's approval and the execution of a Data Use Agreement (DUA) to strictly ensure confidentiality and adherence to ethical guidelines.

Beginning 6 months and ending 1 year following article publication.

Qualified researchers who present a methodologically robust proposal aimed at fulfilling the objectives of the approved project.
