NCT ID NCT07468110
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether nutritional status, measured by the CONUT score, is linked to balance and daily function in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. Researchers will assess balance, muscle thickness, and bone density in 47 adults. The goal is to better understand how nutrition might impact recovery, not to test a new treatment.

Inclusion Criteria: * Being 18 years of age or older * Having a diagnosis of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke * At least 6 months having elapsed since the stroke event (chronic phase) * Being clinically stable * Being able to participate in standing and balance assessments (walking with an assistive device is acceptable) * Having sufficient cognitive capacity to understand and respond to the assessment scales used in the study * Voluntarily agreeing to participate in the study and providing written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Acute or subacute stroke phase (\< 6 months) * Inability to administer assessment scales due to severe cognitive impairment or aphasia * Presence of other neurological disorders that may significantly affect balance and functional status (e.g., Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, peripheral neuropathy) * Significant orthopedic conditions unrelated to stroke (e.g., advanced hip or knee osteoarthritis, lower extremity amputation) * Presence of active infection, malignancy, or systemic inflammatory disease (as these conditions may affect the CONUT score) * Cerebellar localization of the cerebrovascular event * History of major surgery or intensive care unit admission within the past 3 months * Inability to safely perform balance tests due to severe visual or hearing impairment * Patients with incomplete laboratory data or insufficient information to calculate the CONUT score
