Action Observation Therapy in Chronic Stroke Via Telerehabilitation

NCT07631182 · Status: RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

Summary

Stroke, a leading cause of disability worldwide, particularly affects upper extremity function, rendering individuals dependent on others for daily living activities and reducing their quality of life. To mitigate these effects, Action Observation Therapy (AOT), which has gained prominence in recent years, activates the mirror neuron system, triggering learning processes in the motor cortex and supporting functional recovery through the imitation of observed movements. Furthermore, telerehabilitation offers a significant advantage in facilitating access to rehabilitation services for these patients requiring long-term treatment, eliminating barriers such as transportation and cost. The absence of studies in the literature comparing the effectiveness of combining these two methods on hand skills and quality of life in individuals with chronic stroke with conventional physiotherapy makes investigating the clinical value of this approach academically unique and necessary.
