Summary
This study looks at a specific layer of tissue in the lower back (thoracolumbar fascia) in people who had a stroke at least six months ago. Researchers will measure its thickness using ultrasound and see if it relates to balance, trunk control, flexibility, and daily independence. 70 participants will be assessed with simple tests like sitting reach and timed walking. The goal is to better understand how this tissue might affect recovery after stroke.
