Summary

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of three rehabilitation approaches in individuals with stroke: mirror therapy (MT), cognitive orientation to daily occupational performance (CO-OP), and conventional occupational therapy (COT), all combined with robotic balance training.

A total of 45 individuals with subacute and chronic stroke will be randomly assigned to one of three groups. Each group will receive 4 weeks of intervention (5 sessions per week), followed by a 3-month follow-up period.

Outcomes related to motor function, somatosensory function, activities of daily living, participation, and quality of life will be assessed at baseline, after intervention, and at follow-up.

The study aims to determine which intervention approach is more effective in improving functional outcomes in individuals with stroke.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Mirror Therapy

Mirror therapy involves the use of a mirror to create a visual illusion of movement of the affected limb by observing the reflection of the unaffected limb. Task-oriented activities are performed to improve motor function and sensory integration in individuals with stroke.

BEHAVIORAL

Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP)

CO-OP is a client-centered, performance-based approach that uses cognitive strategies to enable skill acquisition. Participants identify meaningful goals and use guided discovery and problem-solving strategies to improve task performance.

BEHAVIORAL

Conventional Occupational Therapy

Conventional occupational therapy includes task-oriented interventions such as reaching, grasping, coordination training, strengthening exercises, and activities aimed at improving functional independence in daily living.

OTHER

Robotic Balance Training

Robotic balance training is used as a priming intervention before therapy sessions. It includes repetitive, task-specific movements involving weight shifting, postural control, and balance training to enhance motor responses.
