Brief 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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Mini-Mental State Examination
Time Frame: changes after 8 weeks
The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is a 30-point test. Higher values mean better performance.
Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity Motor Assessment
Time Frame: changes after 8 weeks
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.
Secondary Outcomes
- Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale(changes after 8 weeks)
- Beck Depression Scale(changes after 8 weeks)
- Barthel Activity of Daily Living Scale(changes after 8 weeks)
- Modified Ashworth Scale(changes after 8 weeks)
