Virtual reality applications based on mirror therapy: Mirror therapy-based games will be played for 30 minutes every day for eight weeks, three days a week, for the VR group.
Conventional treatment: Bobath therapy, walking exercises, upper extremity active exercises, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques will be applied three days a week for eight weeks.
Mirror therapy: In conventional mirror therapy, the unaffected extremities of the individuals will be positioned outside the mirror, while the affected extremities will be placed inside the mirror so that the patient cannot see them. In this way, the image of the intact hand will be transferred to the affected side and activities will be performed three days a week for eight weeks.
Placebo virtual reality: For 8 weeks, watching the uninteractive virtual environment

Primary outcome measure(s)
Fugl-Meyer Assessment — 8 Weeks It is a scale based on measuring upper extremity performance in stroke patients. Test; reflex activity, flexor and extensor synergy, combined synergistic movements, non-synergy movements, normal reflex activity, wrist and hand evaluation, coordination and speed evaluation subsections. It consists of 33 items in total, and each item is scored between 0 and 2 points (0: unable, 1: partially able, 2: fully able). The total score is 66.
