Summary

In the study, movement observation training, Modified Graded Motor Imaging Training, which includes upper extremity functional exercises, and Graded Motor Imaging Training, where the standard protocol is applied, will be used in stroke patients to improve their upper extremity motor functions and daily lives. It is aimed to present it on an evidence-based basis by investigating its effects on Daily Living Activity, quality of life, upper extremity-specific right/left lateralization performance, mental stopwatch performance and motor imagery skills.

Detailed description

At study is planned as a combination of action observation training, motor imagery and graded motor imagery training, which have come to the fore in recent years and whose importance increases with each passing year. Additionally, its preferability in treatment will be investigated by comparing it with Graded Motor Imagery training, in which the standard protocol is applied. It is anticipated that treatment protocols will shed light on future studies. The hypotheses of the study are as follows: Hypothesis 1: Modified Graded Motor Imagery training is more effective than Graded Motor Imagery training and conventional treatment in improving upper extremity motor functions in individuals with stroke. Hypothesis 2: Modified Graded Motor Imagery training is more effective than Graded Motor Imagery training and conventional treatment in improving daily living activities in individuals with stroke. Hypothesis 3: Modified Graded Motor Imagery training is more effective than Graded Motor Imagery training and conventional treatment in improving the quality of life in individuals with stroke. Hypothesis 4: Modified Graded Motor Imagery training is more effective than Graded Motor Imagery training and conventional treatment in improving motor imagery skills in individuals with stroke. Design of the study: The study was designed as a randomized controlled study.
