Overview
Purpose: The research will be conducted to evaluate the effect of Mirror Therapy applied to Stroke Patients on motor-sensory status and quality of life. Method: The research will be carried out as a randomized controlled experimental study at Bilecik Training and Research Hospital and Bozüyük State Hospital between 01.08.2024-01.05.2025. The population of the research consists of 350 people. Individuals will be distributed to the experimental (30) and control (30) groups by simple randomization method. In collecting research data; The patient introduction form, Brunnstrom Staging and SF-36 Quality of Life Scale will be administered to the patients in both groups by the researcher using face-to-face interview technique (pre-test). Patients in the experimental group will be informed about mirror therapy. In addition to conventional rehabilitation, patients in the experimental group will receive mirror therapy for 30 minutes, 4 times a week for 4 weeks. Patients in the control group will only receive conventional rehabilitation for 30 minutes, 4 times a week for 4 weeks. At the end of the 4th week, patients in both groups will be administered Brunnstrom Staging and SF-36 Quality of Life Scale (posttest). If both groups are discharged before 4 weeks, the planned practices will continue at home.
