Effects of Squat Exercise with Whole-Body Vibration on Proprioception in Chronic Stroke Patients with Knee Hyperextension

PURPOSE: This study examined the effects of the squat exercise combined with whole-body vibration (WBV) on proprioception in chronic stroke patients with knee hyperextension.METHODS: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 25 chronic stroke patients assigned to either the experimental group (n = 11), performing squat exercises with WBV, or the control group (n = 14), performing only squat exercises.Both groups exercised five times per week for six weeks.Proprioception was assessed using the joint position sense test.Statistical analyses included the Friedman test for
