Brief Summary:
The aim of the study is to investigate the comparison of the effects of mirror therapy, Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and robot-assisted hand therapy added to conventional neurological rehabilitation on upper extremity function, quality of life and pain in stroke.
Detailed Description:
Stroke is the second leading cause of death in adults and an important cause of long term disability. Functional limitations that develop in the post stroke period affect participants quality of life and activities of daily living. Today, despite advances in rehabilitation and new pharmacologic strategies, stroke related upper extremity function, quality of life and pain treatment may not always achieve the desired results. There are new approaches in stroke rehabilitation such as mirror therapy, Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, robot-assisted hand therapy. Three groups will take part in this study. All three groups will receive a total of 20 sessions of conventional neurological rehabilitation program 5 days a week for 4 weeks. In addition to the first group, a total of 20 sessions of upper extremity mirror therapy program will be applied for 4 weeks, 5 sessions per week. The second group will receive Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) to the contralateral M1 upper extremity motor cortex region at low frequency (1Hz) and at an intensity of 100%-110 of the resting motor threshold, 5 sessions per week for a total of 20 sessions for 4 weeks. The third group will receive a total of 20 sessions of robot-assisted hand therapy using AMADEO (Tyromotion Austria) 5 days a week for 4 weeks.These three groups will be compared in terms of upper extremity function, quality of life and pain.Brunstroom, Mini Mental Test, Modified Ashworth Scale, Fugl Meyer Upper Extremity Motor Assessment Scale, Box Block Test, Nine Hole Pag Test, ABILHAND Stroke Hand Function Questionnaire, Stroke Impact Questionnaire, Stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale, Visual Analog Scale , LANNS neuropathic pain assessment scale, 4 Question Neuropathic Pain Questionnaire, Beck Depression Inventory, Beck Anxiety Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, MEP (motor evoked potential) measurement will be done . Participants will be evaluated by a physician twice at the beginning and at the end of treatment (4th week).
