Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effects of mirror therapy combined with task- vs. Impairment-oriented rehabilitation programs as novel hybrid approaches in individuals with stroke. Participants will receive mirror therapy combined with the task-oriented rehabilitation program (MTT), mirror therapy combined with the impairment-oriented rehabilitation program (MTI), or task-oriented rehabilitation program combined with the impairment-oriented rehabilitation program (TI) 90 minutes per day, three days per week, for six weeks.
