Rehabilitation, Stroke
Conditions
Brief summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the effectiveness of action observation therapy in patients with stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is action observation therapy an effective method in stroke patients? Researchers will compare the results of two action observation-based exercises (home program) with conventional exercise to see whether action observation therapy works in the rehabilitation of stroke patients. Participants: Participants in one group will do action observation-based exercise (home plus conventional exercise for 24 sessions, Patients in the control group will only undergo conventional exercise in addition to routine treatment.
Detailed description
Individuals with chronic stroke will be included in this study. Participants will be randomly divided into two groups, and patients in both groups will continue their routine treatments. Patients in the control group will only undergo conventional exercise. Patients in the study group will be given a home exercise program in addition to conventional treatment. However, patients will be asked to first watch the video of each exercise in this program and then perform the exercise. Patients will be asked to perform the exercises 3 days a week for 8 weeks. Evaluations will be made twice, before the exercise program application begins and after the sessions are completed.
Interventions
OTHERAction Observation Therapy-Experimental Group
Patients will be asked to watch the exercises before doing them.For each exercise, patients will first watch the relevant video and do the exercise after the video ends.
OTHERConventional Exercises-Control Group
Patients will be subjected to conventional exercise only.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 2 minute walk test | The evaluation will be applied at the baseline and after study completion, an average of 2 months. | Patients will be asked to walk 30 meters long on a flat surface for 2 minutes. When the time is up, the distance the patient can walk will be recorded. |
| Fugl-Meyer Assessment | The evaluation will be applied at the baseline and after study completion, an average of 2 months. | The FMA motor assessments for the lower extremity (minimum score:0 and maximum score 34 points) will be applied. A higher score means the patient's motor movements are better. |
| Berg Balance Scale | The evaluation will be applied at the baseline and after study completion, an average of 2 months. | The Berg Balance Scale is used to objectively determine a patient's ability (or inability) to safely balance during a series of predetermined tasks. It is a 14 item list with each item consisting of a five-point ordinal scale ranging from 0 to 4, with 0 indicating the lowest level of function and 4 the highest level of funcion. |
