Overview
Brief Summary
In this study, we 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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in the result of Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) for motor function of upper extremity test
Time Frame: 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.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change in the result of Modified Ashworth scale (MAS)(baseline, 9 weeks and 21 weeks)
- Change in the result of Box and blocks test(baseline, 9 weeks and 21 weeks)
- Change in the result of Semmes-Weinstein monofilament (SWM) test(baseline, 9 weeks and 21 weeks)
- Change in the result of Motor Activity Log(baseline, 9 weeks and 21 weeks)
- Surface electromyography (sEMG)(baseline, 9 weeks)
- Clinical Global Impression (CGI) scale(9 weeks)
