Interventions

Intervention 1: The action observation functional film group : in this group was used of 29 clip of functional activities one-minute with 5 repetitions (each session are shown 3 clip one-minute with 5

Rehabilitation

The action observation functional film group : in this group was used of 29 clip of functional activities one-minute with 5 repetitions (each session are shown 3 clip one-minute with 5 repetitions) pl

The action observation non functional film group : in this group was used of 60 symbol of non functional activities for one-minute with 5 repetitions plus routine rehabilitation treatment.

Control Group: This group was used for routine rehabilitation alone (without any film or symbol).
