Can Action Observation Therapy be an Alternative to Robotic Rehabilitation to Improve Upper Extremity Functions in Stroke Patients? A Protocol of Randomized Controlled Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Conventional Rehabilitation, Robotic Rehabilitation (ExoRehab X), and 1 other intervention for Stroke. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This protocol will investigate the effects of action observation therapy and robotic rehabilitation on upper extremity motor functions in subacute stroke patients. Firstly, for this purpose, conventional rehabilitation approaches will take 60 minutes before both treatment methods in stroke patients. The upper-limb conventional rehabilitation program will be applied to all patients according to their individual needs (60x3x8 minutes/day/week). This program will consist of purposeful clinical exercises with a physiotherapist. After the conventional rehabilitation, one of the groups will receive action observation therapy, while the other will receive robotic rehabilitation. Both additional treatment methods will also be applied for 60 minutes. Treatment durations of both additional treatments are the same (60x3x8 minutes/day/week). Assessments will be made three times (Beginning, 4th week, 8th week).

Timeline
Interventions
Conventional treatment for the upper extremity will be applied according to the patient's individual needs. A physiotherapist will apply this method in the clinic for 60 minutes. The duration of treatment is 60x3x8 minutes/day/week. Other methods will be applied in addition to the conventional treatment program.
