Experimental group
Individuals in both groups will receive a physiotherapy program for 3 sessions per week, 60 minutes per day, for a total of 8 weeks.The study consists of two groups: the experimental group and the control group. Both groups will receive a physiotherapy program of 3 sessions per week, each lasting 60 minutes, for a total of 8 weeks. Within the 60-minute physiotherapy session, patients from both groups will undergo 30 minutes of exercises based on the Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT) method. In addition, a 12-minute training session will be conducted using a light-based trainer system (Light Trainer® Exercise System).
Control group
In addition to the full-body exercises mentioned, individuals in the control group will also receive upper extremity exercises based on the Neurodevelopmental Treatment approach. These exercises are as follows: * Functional reaching activities at the table in a sitting position (e.g., pushing objects, wiping the table, touching various points) * Ball sliding on the wall in a standing position * Touching different targets on the wall in a standing position * Drawing shapes on the wall in a standing position These exercises will be performed bilaterally and on the hemiparetic side. The exercises will be given for approximately 12 minutes, in line with the exercises given to the experimental group. The difficulty level will not be increased during the training.
