Clinical Trial Summary

Little is known about mirror therapy and cognitive exercises applied together in patients with stroke by means of telerehabilitation. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of home-based mirror therapy combined with cognitive exercises on upper extremity functions and cognition in adults with stroke and to compare these effects with mirror therapy alone.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Mini-Mental State Examination	The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is a 30-point test. Higher values mean better performance.	changes after 8 weeks
Primary	Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity Motor Assessment	The Fugl-Meyer Assessment scale is an ordinal scale that has 3 points for each item. A zero score is given for the item if the subject cannot do the task. A score of 1 is given when the task is performed partially and a score of 2 is given when the task is performed fully. The total possible scale score is 226. Higher scores mean better performance.	changes after 8 weeks
Secondary	Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale	Specific Quality Of Life scale (SSQOL) is a patient-centered outcome measure intended to provide an assessment of health-related quality of life specific to patients with stroke. The original test consists of 49 items encompassing 12 domains. Each item is ranked on a 5-point scale, with higher scores indicating better function.	changes after 8 weeks
Secondary	Beck Depression Scale	The Beck Depression Scale is a 21-item self-report inventory designed to assess the presence and severity in depressive symptoms. Each item is rated on a 4-point Likert-type scale ranging from 0 to 3, based on the severity in the last two weeks. Higher scores indicating worse level of depression.	changes after 8 weeks
Secondary	Barthel Activity of Daily Living Scale	The Barthel Index (BI) measures the extent to which somebody can function independently and has mobility in their activities of daily living (ADL) i.e. feeding, bathing, grooming, dressing, bowel control, bladder control, toileting, chair transfer, ambulation and stair climbing. Eight factors are rated to produce an overall score on a point scale of 0 to 100. Then, an assignment is given as "excellent" for 95 to 100 points; "good" for 84 to 94 points, "fair" for 65 to 83 points, or "poor" for less than 65 points, higher scores indicating better function.	changes after 8 weeks
Secondary	Modified Ashworth Scale	The modified Ashworth scale is a muscle tone assessment scale used to assess the resistance experienced during passive range of motion, which does not require any instrumentation and is quick to perform.This scale grades the muscle tone from 0 (normal) to 4 (severe spasticity). The usage of this scale is easy; however, the results depend on the evaluator. Higher scores indicating sever spasticity.	changes after 8 weeks
