Comparative Effects of Mirror Therapy and Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance in Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of three rehabilitation approaches in individuals with stroke: mirror therapy (MT), cognitive orientation to daily occupational performance (CO-OP), and conventional occupational therapy (COT), all combined with robotic balance training. A total of 45 individuals with subacute and chronic stroke will be randomly assigned to one of three groups. Each group will receive 4 weeks of intervention (5 sessions per week), followed by a 3-month follow-up period. Outcomes related to motor function, somatosensory function, activities of daily living, participation, and quality of life will be assessed at baseline, after intervention, and at follow-up. The study aims to determine which intervention approach is more effective in improving functional outcomes in individuals with stroke.

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Post-stroke Fatigue

The investigators hypothesize that delivery of anodal tDCS to the left frontal head region will reduce fatigue severity following stroke.

Investigating the Efficacy of Combining Virtual Reality-Based Mirror Therapy (VRMT) and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) to Improve Upper Limb Recovery in Patients with Stroke

This study will investigate whether combining virtual reality-based mirror therapy (VRMT) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) alongside conventional physical therapy (CPT) will significantly improve hand function for patients with stroke compared to using VRMT or tDCS alone.
