About this trial
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.
