Brief summary
Purpose: The research will be conducted to evaluate the effect of Mirror Therapy applied to Stroke Patients on motor-sensory status and quality of life. Method: The research will be carried out as a randomized controlled experimental study at Bilecik Training and Research Hospital and Bozüyük State Hospital between 01.08.2024-01.05.2025. The population of the research consists of 350 people. Individuals will be distributed to the experimental (30) and control (30) groups by simple randomization method. In collecting research data; The patient introduction form, Brunnstrom Staging and SF-36 Quality of Life Scale will be administered to the patients in both groups by the researcher using face-to-face interview technique (pre-test). Patients in the experimental group will be informed about mirror therapy. In addition to conventional rehabilitation, patients in the experimental group will receive mirror therapy for 30 minutes, 4 times a week for 4 weeks. Patients in the control group will only receive conventional rehabilitation for 30 minutes, 4 times a week for 4 weeks. At the end of the 4th week, patients in both groups will be administered Brunnstrom Staging and SF-36 Quality of Life Scale (posttest). If both groups are discharged before 4 weeks, the planned practices will continue at home.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Brunnstrom Motor-Sensory Staging | 1 month | Brunnstrom staging, which divides the motor recovery process in hemiplegic patients into 6 periods, was used in the upper extremity motor-sensory evaluation of the patients. Brunnstrom staging; Reveals the stages of recovery of patients from hemiplegia after a stroke. It was developed by Swedish physiatrist Signe Brunnström and highlights the synergistic pattern that develops during recovery from stroke. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| SF-36 Quality of Life Scale | 1 month | The SF-36 quality of life scale was used to determine the patients' quality of life. The scale was developed by Ware and Sherbourne in 1992. The validity and reliability of the scale in Turkish was conducted by Koçyiğit. Quality of life scale; It contains 36 statements evaluating 2 main dimensions and 8 sub-dimensions. The scale has Likert type scoring. 35 of the 36 statements in the scale are evaluated considering the last 4 weeks. |
