Traditional rehabilitation
The program consists of a joint treatment in which lower extremity strengthening and balance exercises are carried out synchronously. The program will include a total of 5 minutes of warm-up, 5 minutes of cool-down and 30 minutes of exercises related to the program. The difficulty of the program will increase by changing the number of exercises and increasing the weight in strengthening exercises. Progress in balance and coordination exercises will vary by changing the ground, increasing the standing time, and keeping the eyes open and closed.
Action observation therapy and motor imagery
In the experimental group, in addition to traditional telerehabilitation, action observation and motor imagery of 4 exercises will be performed in each session. A video will be prepared for 4 exercises. Then, the participant will perform 2 minutes of action observation of each movement, followed by 1 minute of motor imagery. In addition to the traditional telerehabilitation program, a 12-minute combination of action observation and motor imagery will be performed in each session. Exercises will be changed every two weeks, gradually increasing the difficulty.
