task-oriented training: Virtual Reality Mirror Therapy combined with Motor training targeted to goals that are relevant to the functional needs of the patient
Study summary
In this study, the investigators hypothesized that Virtual Reality Mirror Therapy with Focused Object-Directed Attention (VRMTFOA) would yield superior therapeutic effects compared to conventional Virtual Reality Mirror Therapy (VRMT) in individuals with unilateral stroke.
The aim of this study is to compare the immediate effects of a single session of VRMT, VRMTFOA, and VRMTFOA with auditory feedback on upper extremity function and brain activity in stroke patients.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Change in the result of Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) for motor function of upper extremity test — baseline, 9 weeks and 21 weeks Each item is rated on a three-point ordinal scale (2 points for the detail being performed completely, 1 point for the detail being performed partially, and 0 for the detail not being performed). The maximum motor performance score is 66 points for the upper extremity.
