    Background Post-stroke hemiparesis can lead to decreased mobility, gait disturbances, impaired balance, postural instability, limitations in activities of daily living (ADL), and long-term disability. Aims The aim of this study was to examine the effect of non-immersive virtual reality game-based training (nIVRGT) in addition to conventional rehabilitation in stroke patients on dynamic balance, knee hyperextension control, and ADL. Methods Twenty-five chronic stroke patients aged between 51 and 70 were included in the study. Stroke patients were randomized to a control group (n = 12) and a study group (n = 13). Individuals in control group participated conventional physiotherapy and rehabilitation program for 60 min, 3 days a week for 6 weeks. individuals in the study group received 40 min of conventional physiotherapy and rehabilitation program plus 20 min nIVRGT. Functional Reach Test, Timed Up and Go Test, Computerized Gait Evaluation System and Barthel Index were used in the evaluation. Result The study group improved significantly in dynamic balance, knee control, and ADL (p < 0.05). In the control group, significant improvements were observed in dynamic balance and knee control (p < 0.05), except ADL (p > 0.05). The study group improved in dynamic balance compared with the control group (p < 0.05). Knee control and ADL improved similarly in both groups (p > 0.05). Conclusion Our results showed that conventional and additional nIVRGT rehabilitation improved dynamic balance and knee hyperextension control in chronic stroke. However, it was observed that the non-immersive virtual reality (nIVR) approach was more effective in improving dynamic balance in stroke patients than conventional rehabilitation alone.

    Uniqueness of Solution for Higher-Order Nonlinear Fractional Differential Equations With Multi-Point and Integral Boundary Conditions
    (Springer-verlag Italia Srl, 2021-06-28) Sevinik-Adiguzel, Rezan; Aksoy, Umit; Karapinar, Erdal; Erhan, Inci M.; Adiguzel, Rezan Sevinik
    This study is devoted to the development of alternative conditions for existence and uniqueness of nonlinear fractional differential equations of higher-order with integral and multi-point boundary conditions. It uses a novel approach of employing a fixed point theorem based on contractive iterates of the integral operator for the corresponding fixed point problem. We start with developing an existence-uniqueness theorem for self-mappings with contractive iterate in a b-metric-like space. Then, we obtain the unique solvability of the problem under suitable conditions by utilizing an appropriate b-metric-like space.
