Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Mirror therapy	In mirror therapy, a wooden mirror (41×50×33 cm3) will be positioned in the participant's sagittal midplane, blocking the participant's view of the affected arm performance. We will also provide a foldable bed tray table to ensure that the participants focus on the mirror reflection of the less affected arm. The mirror therapy will consist of movement and functional practices.
BEHAVIORAL	Task-oriented approach	The task-oriented approach will provide both bimanual common-goal and dual-goal tasks for the participants.
BEHAVIORAL	Impairment-oriented approach	The impairment-oriented approach will focus on the movement components. Arm BASIS or Arm Ability training will be provided based on the severity of the participant's impairment.
