Effects of the Action Observation Therapy and Robotic Rehabilitation on the Upper-Limb Motor Function in Stroke
Can Action Observation Therapy be an Alternative to Robotic Rehabilitation to Improve Upper Extremity Functions in Stroke Patients? A Protocol of Randomized Controlled Study
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 19 Apr 2024
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This protocol will investigate the effects of action observation therapy and robotic rehabilitation on upper extremity motor functions in subacute stroke patients. Firstly, for this purpose, conventional rehabilitation approaches will take 60 minutes before both treatment methods in stroke patients. The upper-limb conventional rehabilitation program will be applied to all patients according to their individual needs (60x3x8 minutes/day/week). This program will consist of purposeful clinical exercises with a physiotherapist. After the conventional rehabilitation, one of the groups will receive action observation therapy, while the other will receive robotic rehabilitation. Both additional treatment methods will also be applied for 60 minutes. Treatment durations of both additional treatments are the same (60x3x8 minutes/day/week). Assessments will be made three times (Beginning, 4th week, 8th week).
