Brief Summary:
Stroke, according to the definition of the World Health Organization (WHO); It is a syndrome characterized by a rapid settlement of signs and symptoms of focal loss of cerebral function without a cause other than vascular causes. As it is known, it is important for patients to regain functional skills in the upper extremities after stroke. Modified-Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (m-CIMT) is a versatile neurorehabilitation technique that aims to improve motor function in the hemiparetic upper extremity and increase its use in daily life activities. However, as in the Covid-19 pandemic, patients cannot always reach rehabilitation services. In such cases, telerehabilitation is a treatment option. There are a limited number of studies in which m-CIMT is applied according to the principle of telerehabilitation, which has become a necessity, especially due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine the effects of m-CIMT on upper extremity motor functions in stroke patients.
Detailed Description:
This study is a randomized controlled study. The patients will be randomly divided into two groups as exercise and control. Patients in both groups will be given lower-upper extremity exercises and gait training exercises selected according to the Bobath approach as a home program consisting of 10 exercises to be applied 5 days a week for 3 weeks. All patients will perform the same exercises. In addition, the exercise group will receive Modified-Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (m-CIMT) based telerehabilitation via video conferencing 5 days a week for 3 weeks. Patients in the m-CIMT group will be asked to restrict the movements of their less affected hands by using mitt for 5 hours a day/ 5 days a week for 3 weeks while the patients are awake. Evaluations for both groups will be made by a physiotherapist blinded to the study twice, at the beginning and 3 weeks later. As outcome measures functional performance, hand strength, activities of daily living and quality of life will be evaluated.
