Interventions
Procedure: Mirror therapy
The first group of participants will receive a total of 20 sessions of upper extremity mirror therapy program, 5 sessions per week for 4 weeks.
Device: Low Frequency rTMS Protocol
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) will be applied at an intensity of 100-110% of the resting motor threshold and low frequency (1 Hz) to the contralateral M1 upper extremity motor cortex region for a total of 20 sessions, 5 sessions per week for 4 weeks. rTMS application is planned to provide magnetic stimulation with the stimulator of the Magventure MagPro R30 device.
Robotic-assisted hand therapy
In the Robot Assisted Therapy group, a total of 20 sessions will be applied 5 days a week for 4 weeks using continuous passive range of motion, active assistive exercise and play therapy programs for hemiplegic upper extremities with AMADEO (Tyromotion Austria).
